Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing
This is a very classic side salad that you’ll find on the menu of fine dining restaurants and local bistros. It goes with virtually any Western dish, and is extremely quick to make:
Balsamic Dressing made with just extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper; Rocket lettuce – called arugula in the US & Canada, it’s got a great peppery fresh flavour; and Shaved parmesan – just use a potato peeler!
Super quick, classic side salad that requires NO CHOPPING!
What does rocket taste like?
Rocket – called arugula in the US and Canada – is a type of lettuce which has a slight peppery flavour which makes it really fresh with a great bite so it pairs really well with meat heavy mains like roasts, and carb heavy dishes like pasta dishes.
How to make Rocket Salad
Here’s how to make it. It’s very quick and requires zero chopping – BONUS!
ALTERNATIVE: Balsamic Glaze
The alternative way to make Rocket Salad is to use a Balsamic Glaze rather than mixing up a Balsamic Dressing. This is even faster to make because all you do is drizzle olive oil on the rocket, toss, drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze, then shave over parmesan. Don’t try to toss the salad in the glaze, it’s too thick, just serve it with drizzles of balsamic over it.
Rocket Salad with Balsamic Glaze takes 90 seconds FLAT to make!
Which Rocket Salad is better?
The Balsamic Dressing version is the classic way to make it, made “properly” because the rocket leaves are properly tossed in Balsamic Dressing. The Balsamic Glaze version has more intense flavour pops when you hit a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It’s also faster to make – literally 90 seconds of effort. For everyday purposes, I make this Balsamic Glaze version more often! – Nagi x
