[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 

Personally, I ADORE the challenge of unexpected guests because I'm a prepper - for food emergencies! HOWEVER, if I didn't already have a freezer bursting with emergency gnocchi, I'd send out for sausages, chicken fillets, more milk, more bread, (check to see if you need) more tomato sauce, and I'd also order in a couple of butter lettuce.

The trick? Make that beautiful dressed lettuce leaf salad LIKE A CHEF. Which is to say, confident, elegant, and not over-fussed. Lettuce, done well and on its own = 👌. And then spaced out generously on an oversized platter? Heaven.
