Beetroot and Rocket Salad
This throw together salads requires little to no chopping. Budget friendly and quick to make! Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a light lunch.
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.
