This recipe will teach you how to make Warm Rocket Salad. It is a quick and easy recipe to make. Most people only eat cold salads but it is a really lovely treat to still have a salad in winter that is warm. The flavour of the bacon, pine nuts, onion, olive oil, thyme and vinegar served on rocket leaves and topped with parmesan cheese makes an absolutely fantastic tasting warm salad.

Warm Rocket Salad Ingredients

olive oil
balsamic vinegar
4 sprigs thyme
2 medium red onions
A good handful pine nuts
4 big handfuls rocket leaves
8 whole rashers smoked streaky bacon
a piece of parmesan cheese for shaving

Warm Rocket Salad Method

First thing to do is peel and quarter the onions into 8 pieces from each onion. In a hot frying pan fry the rashers of bacon until they are crisp. After you have done that add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and add the thyme, pine nuts, onions and a pinch of salt and stir around and fry on a medium heat for about 4 minutes until it is caramelized and sweet, do not let it go black. Arrange your rocket leaves in a beautiful salad bowl and put all the other ingredients in with the rocket leaves and mix around adding a generous drizzle of the balsamic vinegar. This will make a great natural salad dressing as it will mix with the olive oil. Shave the parmesan cheese and put on top of the Warm Rocket Salad and serve immediately.
