This classic side salad is a staple in many restaurants and pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of Western dishes. The distinctive peppery flavour of rocket lettuce complements rich, meaty or carbohydrate-heavy main courses such as pasta dishes and roasts perfectly. It comes together with just a few ingredients in mere minutes.

Ingredients

150g / 5 oz rocket / arugula ((4 big handfuls))
15g / 0.5oz parmesan (, shaved finely using vegetable peeler)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

Combine the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper in a jar and shake vigorously to emulsify.
Add the rocket leaves to a mixing bowl, pour the prepared dressing over them, and toss gently to coat.
Move the dressed salad to your chosen serving dish and finish by shaving the parmesan cheese over the top using a vegetable peeler. Enjoy straight away.
