    Rocket Salad

    Fresh Tomato Rocket Salad with a flavorful vinaigrette makes an amazing lunch or dinner. Toasted peanuts added gives a perfect crunch to the salad. It goes well in salads, pastas or even risottos.

    Rocket leaves are rich in Vitamin C, A and K. It is good for building immunity and also a natural anti-oxidant.

    Ingredients

    Arugula - Use fresh moisture-free rocket leaves for the salad.

    Cherry tomato - I am using a mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes. You can use them whole or slice and use them.

    Cucumber - Adding some fresh baby cucumber. They are perfect for the summer.

    Onion - Onions give a balance in taste. Use red or white onions.

    Peanuts - Peanuts give crunch to the salad and hence I suggest adding them. You can also more nuts or add pine nuts in place of peanuts.

    The dressing

    Olive oil - It's distinct and gives a perfect blend to the salad.

    Maple syrup - gives a lovely pop and twist to the flavor and you may also replace maple syrup with honey.

    Lemon juice - Fresh lemon juice is a must for the citrus punch in the vinaigrette.

    Black pepper powder and Salt - Give a balance in taste to the vinaigrette. You can also add in some garlic powder for more flavor.

    FAQ's

    Can I make the salad ahead of time?
    I suggest making the dressing up to 5 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Before serving you may add the ingredients and toss with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.

    Tips & Variations

    • Always mix the dressing with the salad just before serving. The vinaigrette has citrus ingredients and hence it is not wise to keep them waiting.
    • You may add in more nuts for the crunch. You can add almonds and pistachios as well.
    • Always use clean and dry moisture free rocket leaves for the salad. This helps in keeping the salad fresh and delicious.
    • You can also add in more peppers for more crunch or if you like more spice quotient in the salad.

    Serving Suggestions

    Salad goes well with some warm soup or with some garlic bread and pizza. You can also serve them as a side with some grilled protein like Tandoori Chicken or Paneer cauliflower patties.
