Pink grapefruit and rocket/arugula salad

Time for yet another luscious-looking summer salad! Pink grapefruit and rocket salad greens served with vinaigrette dressing. The citrus flavour of the grapefruit and the bitter edge of the rocket combine to give a perfect balance!



For 4 servings, peel 2 medium grapefruits, carefully removing all the white pith from the slices. Rinse 100 gms of rocket leaves and pat dry. Deseed and chop 1 large tomato into big squares. Spread a bed of rocket leaves onto plates, and follow with the tomatoes and grapefruit slices. Sprinkle some grated parmesan on top (or even better, parmesan shavings, if you have it). Serve with a vinaigrette dressing.


Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper


Whisk all ingredients of the dressing together and keep aside for 30 mins for all the flavours to soak in.
