Goat Cheese, Rocket and Pomegranate Salad

A refreshing salad, good any time of the year.  One can substitute blueberries for the pomegranate seeds, and it’s really nice with arugula instead of romaine, if you like spicy greens.

Ingredients
  150g baby rocket, rinsed and dried
  1 ripe pomegranate
  ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  100g goats cheese
  2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  5 tablespoons olive oil
  Sea salt & Blackpepper to taste

Method
1. Discard the outer leaves of lettuce, if they are icky – you want the more tender leaves underneath. Break each leaf into very small pieces – the smaller you make the pieces, the more elegant the salad appears. Place the lettuce in a salad bowl.
2. Cut the pomegranate in half and use a fork to pick out the seeds. Let them fall directly into the salad bowl.
3. Add rocket, red onion and crumble in the goats cheese. 
4. In a jar, mix together the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, put the lid on top and shake it up. Pour onto the salad.
5. Toss the salad with the dressing just before serving.

Useful Tip:
- Substitute baby spinach or other salad greens for the rocket if you prefer.
- The salad can be prepared in advance, covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge. Dress just before serving.
