Rocket Salad with Grapefruit and Black Olives




Juicy, slightly sour ruby grapefruit, with peppery rocket leaves as a base, and black olives dressed with a combination of balsamic bianco vinegar and olive oil, then sprinkled with some chopped pistachios. If you are not a fan of rocket leaves, lamb's lettuce would be great for this salad too.



Dressing

  • 1 Grapefruit
  • 1 handful Rocket
  • 10 Black olives, cut into halves
  • Some pistachios, chopped

  • 1 tbsp Rosemary infused olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic bianco
  • Salt and black pepper


  1. Peel and segment the grapefruit. Arrange rock salad, black olives and grapefruit segments on the serving plate.
  2. Mix the vinaigrette ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to blend. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and sprinkle with the chopped pistachios. Serve the salad with bread.
