Winter salad

by Peter Rowland

Fig, prosciutto, blue cheese, beans and rocket salad

We love a tasty salad, even more when we can take advantage of some of the bold flavours and seasonal ingredients winter has to offer.

SALAD

500g fresh rocket

24 green beans, blanch and split

8 black figs, quartered

12 slices prosciutto

200g blue cheese, crumbled

½ red onion, thinly sliced 

Handful of roasted walnuts (optional)

DRESSING

Equal amount olive oil

Equal amount balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper

METHOD

1. Toss the beans and rocket in a bowl with 3/4 of the dressing then split over 4 plates.

2. Build up each salad using the other ingredients.

3. Drizzle with left over dressing to finish.
