Method

1. Wash the lettuce and rinse the tomato³ and cornichons, tear the lettuce into large pieces, dice the tomato, dice the cheese, and finely chop the onion⁶ for the sauce.

2. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and cook the ground¹ meat, breaking up lumps, for about eight minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste, until golden and crumbly.

3. Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard, then stir in the finely chopped cornichons and onion⁶ until smooth.

4. Tear the lettuce, add the tomato³ dice, warm ground¹ meat, dice the cheese, drizzle with the sauce, and toss so every ingredient is coated.

5. Toast the bread cubes in a dry skillet until crisp, then sprinkle with sesame.

6. Top the salad with the toasted bread and serve.
