Ingredients

  • Half a cucumber
  • 2 Vine-Ripened tomatoes
  • 1 large red onion
  • 5 spring onions
  • 1 green chilli
  • 100 grams of feta cheese
  • Balsamic reduction, to taste
  • 35g of rocket, washed
  • 3 sprigs of mint, leaves only
  • 3 sprigs of coriander, leaves only
  • 60ml of white wine vinegar
  • 100ml of olive oil
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of cracked black pepper

Method

  • STEP 1
    Finely dice the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion. Trim the spring onions and cut into scallions. De-seed and finely chop the green chilli.
  • STEP 2
    Next, roughly chop the coriander and mint. It is a good idea to clap the mint in your hands first, this breaks the capilliaries in the leaves and releases the flavour better.
  • STEP 3
    Crumble the feta cheese and place in a mixing bowl with the above ingredients and add the rocket, olive oil, white wine vinegar and salt/pepper.
  • STEP 4
    Toss the salad together for at least 30 seconds until well mixed and dressing has covered the ingredients.
  • STEP 5
    Serve with the balsamic reduction drizzled over to taste.
  • STEP 6
    If you want to make your own balsamic reduction, place equal amounts of caster sugar and balsamic vinegar in a heavy bottomed pan and leave on low heat for 4-6 hours until the liquid coats the back of spoon.
