Strawberry Rocket Leaves Salad
by Tarla Dalal
A hearty summer fare of bittersweet rocket leaves (arugula) with sweet fresh strawberries flavour fully combined with just the right amount of balsamic vinegar and sugar, the Strawberry Rocket Leaves Salad features a rare combination of flavours that everybody will enjoy. Rocket leaves are a wonder food rich in vitamin A, C and fibre but not readily consumed – however, combining it with a sweet fruit like strawberry makes it not just palatable but very enjoyable too.
