Yes, OK, this retro salad is reminiscent of the 1970s but it’s still a winner in our book. The cheese dressing is whizzed up with sour cream and olive oil – it’s an umami delight.
If you want to go fully back in time with your menu, how about pairing this with a homemade arctic roll?

Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Season the chicken and place in a roasting tin with the thyme and bacon. Drizzle with the oil and roast for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the bacon is crisp. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the beans in a pan of boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and refresh in cold water and remove the outer skins.
- Make the dressing. In a small food processor, whizz the cheese with the soured cream and vinegar, and season. With the motor running, gradually add the extra-virgin olive oil, then a splash of water to thin to a double-cream thickness.
- Slice the chicken and mix in a bowl with the bacon, broad beans and leaves. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.
