Wedges of iceberg lettuce are also delicious to replace the cos. A marinated, soft feta is a gorgeous accompaniment and complements the crispy leaves perfectly but is an optional extra.

2–3 firm cos lettuces, halved or quartered if large
¼ cup toasted walnut pieces, roughly chopped
Vinaigrette

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
