I love Italian food so here's a salad inspired by Italy, we make this mainly when the rocket from the garden is growing like mad, but it can be made anytime of year if you can get hold of some nice fresh peppery rocket.
Ingredients
Fresh Rocket, a good handful per portion
Chestnut mushrooms - finely sliced
Parma Ham or air dried prosciutto
Parmesan or Grando Padano - grated finely
Good quality extra virgin olive oil
Good quality matured balsamic vinegar
Method
Serve on a plate with the rocket in the centre
Parma ham around the plate, ripped in to large pieces
Scatter the mushrooms randomly across the salad
Grate the cheese across the whole dish
Sprinkle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Delicious, served with goats cheese bruschetta or plain bruschetta, you'll have amazing depths of flavours.
That looks really good esp after Christmas, just the type of meal to appeal right now.
