Turn off the heat and immediately throw in the baked croutons and toss through the chorizo flavoured oil coating well. Remove from the fry pan onto the same plate as the diced chorizo.
• To assemble spread the dressing over the bottom of the serving platter or onto each individual plate. Pile the torn cos lettuce over the dressing and sprinkle with diced chorizo and croutons. Toss the salad gently and thoroughly with the dressing. Finish with placing on the boiled egg slices and extra grated parmesan. Lovely served with extra lemon wedges.
