Strawberry, Rocket and Cucumber Salad
This is a super little salad, inspired by the idea to combine strawberries with cucumber in The Telegraph, another great British newspaper with a great Food Section. I made a simply salad with the strawberry, cucumber and home grown arugula/rocket in the UK.
Ingredients:
for a small plate
- a handful of rocket/arugula I got it fresh from my garden
- 1/4 of small cucumber chopped
- about 4 strawberries sliced
- 5 slices of avocado
- a dash of balsamic oil
- dash of olive oil
- a sprinkling of feta cheese
Method:
- simply combine the ingredients and drizzle with oil and vinegar
- sprinkle with feta and
- enjoy :)
and a week today I fly home :-)
