Oh so Italian Salad

I had buffalo mozzarella, I had prosciutto, I had fresh figs, I had rocket. All I needed was to slice the figs, tear up the mozzarella, peel apart the wafer thin prosciutto and mix it up with a generous helping of rocket and that was it. Drizzle over copious amounts of good olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a twist of salt and pepper - and you have a meal made in heaven. Italian heaven.

'rocket' is.....

Hi Linda - rocket may be called 'roquette' in the States? Or perhaps by its Italian name, 'rucola'? It's a spicy leaved salad - the 'wild' leaves are longish with wiggly indentations all the way round them. The other version has leaves more like rabbits ears with no indentations. Hope that helps!
