MANGO & ROCKET SALAD: BITTER SWEET
The Bitter taste of FIRE and the sweetness of EARTH is the combined flavor sensation for the transitional season, LATE SUMMER.
One of my favourite bitter/sweet combinations is mango &/or peach, rocket and walnut salad. It’s also incredibly easy to make.
SO SIMPLE IT’S BARELY A RECIPE
- In an appropriate sized bowl, whip up a balsamic vinegar & olive oil dressing (with a bit of pepper if you like that sort of thing)
- Dice or slice up the mango/peach in whatever way seems best to you and put it in the dressing to soak for a bit
- Tear up the rocket (or not, if you have baby leaves), give it a wash and a spin then put it in the bowl with the fruit and turn it all around in the dressing
NOTE: the older the rocket, the more bitter it is - Dry roast the slightly broken up walnuts in a heavy fry pan – then casually toss them onto the top of the bowl now dressed and ready to go salad
- For those who really love the bitter flavour, add in a bit of shredded radicchio leaf.
Done in five minutes!!
(Apart from the soaking bit)
