Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 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)
- 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
- 1
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.
- 2
Place rocket lettuce in a serving bowl.
- 3
Scatter over beetroot. No need to toss - because of the weight, it should disperse throughout fairly well.
- 4
Crumble over the feta and scatter with walnuts.
- 5
Drizzle over dressing and serve.
