Monday Salad:Rocket, Parmesan and Melon Salad

I saw this Salad on the menu of this new restaurant 5 all day and am going to try and give you a rendition of the same. I love the peppery and pungent rocket leaves and the Parmesan absolutely compliments the whole thing. The melon add this lovely sweet mellowness to the pungent and rich flavours and balances it out well. Another good addition to this for my hardcore non vegetarian buddies is some fried bacon. You get yummy chicken bacon which you put into a pan without any oil and just saute it. Chop it up into bits or leave it as is for a lovely crunchy salted flavour to the salad.



Ingredients:
2 Handfuls of Rocket Leaves
Juice of half a Lemon
20 grams of Parmesan Cheese - either you can take a peeler/slicer and make thin long strips or then cut into small squares
1 cup Honeydew Melon peeled, de-seeded and cut into small squares
Salt and pepper to taste
Chicken Bacon (optional) as above

Method
Put a pinch of salt and pepper into the lemon juice, stir and keep aside
On a plate put a bed of Rocket leaves
Top this with melon pieces
Add your lemon juice on top of this mixture
Decorate with Parmesan Cheese and (optional) Chicken Bacon

Enjoy!
