Rocket salad with tomato, avocado and pesto

Easy rocket salad with tomato, avocado and pesto – topped with parmesan and pine nuts. Simple, and so good.
This combination just works so well – simple, and yet so full of flavour.
The salad goes really well with pasta dishes, pizza or a good risotto – but also as a side for the barbecue, a roast chicken or similar.
Rocket has a pleasantly peppery, slightly bitter flavour – if you’re not keen on rocket, you can swap it for spinach or a mixed salad.

Method

• Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden.
• Mix the pesto and oil together well, so the dressing has a fairly thin, pourable consistency.
• Combine the rocket, tomatoes and diced avocado in a bowl, spoon most of the pesto over the salad and toss gently with two forks.
• Top the salad with the parmesan, the toasted pine nuts and the remaining pesto, and finish with plenty of freshly ground pepper.
