Rocket salad: food for the inner Rocket Scientist!

Rocket Salad
Rocket Salad!
Okay Monday! Got to get pumped for the long week ahead! After all those late nights out on the weekend, you need something to bring out that inner Rocket Scientist we all know is hibernating inside, biding its time until it can unleash its pure genius! And what better way than with Rocket Salad! It even has Rocket in its name so you know it has got to be good! Good enough for Astronauts some might say, and they need lots of energy for their unfailing concentration because one mistake, and bye bye Earth, Hello the rest of the universe!


On a more serious note, Rocket salad is a great change away from the traditional garden salad which features the usual, lettuce, tomato and cucumber. Why eat your salad plain when you can whip up a vinaigrette in 5 seconds (possibly 3 seconds if you’re a seasoned professional)? So take a break from the winter comfort food for a day and give rocket salad a go!

Rocket salad

Ingredients: 70g baby rocket shredded, 1 small Spanish onion finely chopped, 3 ripe tomatoes cut into thin wedges, juice of 1/2 a lime, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 tbsp roasted walnuts chopped roughly

Steps: Put the rocket into a large bowl, add the onions and tomato. In a small bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, juice of 1 lime, olive oil and caster sugar, then pour over the rocket and toss. Add the walnut, toss then serve!

P.S. Spanish onion is a key ingredient in this salad, so I recommend a stick of gum afterwards, for the benefits of your friends, unless of course they love onion-freshness.
