Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g rocket leaves
  • 40 g Parmesan shaved
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Handful of pine nuts toasted (optional)

Method
 

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry rocket leaves.
  2. Whisk olive oil and lemon juice, season.
  3. Arrange rocket on a plate.
  4. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
  5. Top with Parmesan and pine nuts.

Notes

Dry the rocket thoroughly before dressing to keep the dressing from diluting.
Dress only right before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Use more oil than acid in the dressing to protect the rocket's peppery flavour.
Not suitable for freezing.
