    Colourful Salad-Perfect for A Winters Day- Rocket and Beetroot

    This was a Salad I served at lunch in the weekend
    It was very popular and seriously so so easy
    It consists of
    Bag Rocket
    Mozzarella Balls
    Roasted Beetroot
    French Dressing

    Make the Dressing (Vinaigrette)
    1 tsp Dijon Mustard
    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    Pinch of sugar
    2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
    6 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Place all ingredients into a jar with a lid
    Shake well
    It's all ready to go


    To feed 8 people
    Take 6 medium beetroot
    Wrap each one in foil and bake in a 200C oven till tender
    Takes about an hour
    Check with a skewer to make sure it is cooked right through
    Remove from oven
    Cool for about 15 mins
    When the beetroot is able to be held in your hand
    Peel and chop into wedges
    Toss in 3 tablespoons of French Dressing, 
    The beetroot absorbs the vinaigrette best when warm

    Set aside

    To assemble
    In a flat salad bowl
    Layout the rocket
    Throw over the beetroot wedges and then the mozzarella broken into pieces
    You can assemble this earlier if necessary

    Just before serving 
    Distribute another 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing over the salad and 
    Toss lightly
    Voila 
    Salad is served
