Ingredients

Serves 4

• 100g baby spinach
• 100g rocket leaves
• Handful fresh parsley
• 50g Parmesan cheese (optional)

Note: you may want more rocket & spinach, depending on how hungry everyone is!

Dressing

• 2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Pinch of sugar / honey
• Salt & black pepper to taste

Method

1. Wash the rocket and spinach leaves and dry thoroughly.
   
   
2. Chop the parsley and mix with the leaves.
   
   
3. Crush the garlic clove.
   
   
4. Put all the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well, until they are thoroughly mixed.
   
   
5. Add the dressing to the salad and mix well.
   
   
6. Finish the salad with shavings of Parmesan cheese. If you don't have a cheese slicer, you can use a potato peeler or a sharp knife to create shavings.
   
   
7. Remove from the heat and add the herbs. Liquidise until smooth. Add more water, if the soup is too thick.
