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
