More Tips
- This salad is a fantastic way to use up any 'day old' bread and leftover roast chicken or turkey from Christmas day. It makes a refreshing dinner or great Boxing Day lunch.
- Bread can be baked a day ahead and stored in an airtight container if desired.
- Interchange the herbs in this salad for any leftover 'soft' herbs such as mint, oregano, chervil or chives leftover from Christmas cooking.
- To impress party guests and make a gorgeous coloured salad try using heirloom or coloured tomatoes and capsicums.

Reheating Hollandaise or Béarnaise sauce?
Never microwave! These are fragile emulsions and will split. Reheat by gently whisking over a double boiler on low heat. If the emulsion begins to split, try whisking in a spoonful of warm water, never add more butter.
