Ingredients

Here’s a salad that is easy and uses some of the wonderful seasonal produce around at present. It requires no preparation and is fresh and interesting to eat.

* 1 small Cos lettuce, leaves separated
* 1 handful fresh wild rocket leaves
* 1 medium beetroot, cooked and peeled
* 3 radishes, very thinly sliced
* 200g feta, crumbles
* 8 figs, halved
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
* Salt and pepper

Method

To assemble the salad, lay the Cos leaves on a flat plate. Trim any stalky ends from the rocket and place this on top.

Cut the beetroot into 1-2cm pieces.

Place the figs and radishes on the rocket, and scatter over the beetroot and feta cheese evenly.
Drizzle over the oil and balsamic, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Serve at once. Serves 4-6.
