Steps
Steps
- 1Wash the rocket only if needed and dry it thoroughly in a salad spinner — wet leaves will not hold the oil.
- 2Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- 3Add the rocket and tomatoes and toss with your hands just until coated. Rocket is delicate and wilts under a heavy dressing, so dress it sparingly and at the last moment.
- 4Transfer to a platter, shave the parmesan over in wide curls with a vegetable peeler, add a few drops of balsamic and serve at once.
