Equipment

Ingredients

For the Balsamic Vinaigrette

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

For the Cherry Salad

2 tablespoons almonds, toasted
1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
6 mint leaves, thinly sliced
½ avocado, sliced or cubed
100 g rocket
20 g feta, crumbled

Instructions

Start by making the balsamic vinaigrette. Combine the balsamic, honey, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl, then whisk in the olive oil until the dressing emulsifies. Alternatively, you can add all the dressing ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until emulsified. Set aside.

Toast the almonds if they’re not already in a small dry frying pan and set aside. Pit the cherries using either a cherry pitter, a chop stick or your fingers then halve each cherry. Finley slice the mint and slice or cube the avocado.
2 tablespoons almonds, 1 cup cherries, 6 mint leaves, ½ avocado
When ready to serve, combine the rocket with 2-3 tablespoons of the balsamic dressing in a salad bowl. Then add the cherries, mint, almonds, feta and avocado to the rocket and mix well.
100 g rocket, 20 g feta
Serve, with extra dressing for those who would like it.
