Strawberry Rocket Salad
Insalata fragole e Rucola
Sweet fruit, bitter leaves, sour vinegar and salty cheese always make a terrific salad, as this refreshing strawberry rocket combo goes to prove.
I love salads with fresh fruit, and especially those uniting the basic tastes of sour, sweet, bitter and salty. And when strawberries are in season, there is nothing better than a salad of strawberries and rocket leaves in a Balsamic vinegar dressing. The salad is slightly reminiscent of the classic Italian fragole all’aceto Balsamico dessert.
Later in the summer there are similar yet diverse salads like the plum and arugula and pear arugula and gorgonzola.

200 g ripe strawberries
