Ingredients
- For the salad…
- 100 grams rocket, washed and spun in a salad spinner to remove excess water and then shredded
- 4 figs, quartered
- 100 grams creamy Gorgonzola, diced
- ¼ cup, crushed pistachios
- For the dressing…
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- *1-2 tablespoons orange blossom water
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Directions
- Step 1 Arrange your rocket on a salad platter, place your figs on top of the rocket, then top with the Gorgonzola and scatter the crushed pistachios on top to garnish.
- Step 2 Add all the salad ingredients in a glass jar and shake until emulsified. Taste and adjust according to your preferences.
- Step 3 Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately. I didn’t feel the need to toss this salad as I was afraid of damaging the gorgeous figs.
- Step 4 *NOTE: this will depend on the strength of your orange blossom water and your taste – start with1 tablespoon taste and then add 1/2 tablespoon until you can just taste a hint of orange blossom in your dressing.
