Ingredients

  • 250 g / 8 oz canned baby beetroot , halved or quartered if they are large

  • 120 g / 4 oz baby rocket (arugula) leaves

  • 60 g feta (preferably Danish, otherwise Greek), or goats cheese

  • 3 tbsp walnuts , lightly crushed with your fingers

 You could also add … Spinach leaves baby, celery, snow peas, any salad ingredients you have in the fridge.

DRESSING

  • 2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (ordinary, not aged or glazed)

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Black pepper

Instructions

Combine the Dressing ingredients in a jar, and shake well. You might need a spoon to break up the honey to mix it in properly. Adjust salt to your taste.

Place rocket lettuce in a serving bowl.

Scatter over beetroot. No need to toss - because of the weight, it should disperse throughout fairly well.

Crumble over the feta and scatter with walnuts.

Drizzle over dressing and serve.
