Ingredients
- For the salad…
- 100 grams rocket, washed and spun in a salad spinner to remove the excess water
- 4 figs, quartered
- 100 grams creamy Gorgonzola, diced
- 2 heaped tablespoons crushed pistachios
- For the dressing…
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1-2 tablespoons orange blossom water (this will depend on the strength of your orange blossom water, add 1 tablespoon then taste and only add more if you feel it is necessary. It shouldn't be too overpowering you should just get a hint of it)
Directions
- Step 1 In a glass jar add all the dressing ingredients and shake until emulsified, taste and adjust ingredients to suit your taste.
- Step 2 To assemble the salad, place your rocket leaves on the bottom of a salad platter, arrange the figs and Gorgonzola on top.
- Step 3 Pour the dressing over your salad (I didn’t mix this salad as I didn’t want to damage the figs and ruin the presentation). Scatter the crushed pistachios on top and serve immediately.
