Wild Rocket Summer Salad

I’ll definitely be keeping this recipe from LeaderBrand for a simple yet super flavoursome salad close at hand over the summer months.

The peppery flavour of the wild rocket and the homemade picked red onion is beautifully balanced with the sweetness of cherry tomatoes, refreshing cucumber and subtle nutty taste of creamy avocado to produce this delightful dish. And although this sounds pretty amazing as is, don’t forget to add the zesty lime and sweet chilli dressing to take your Wild Rocket Summer Salad to a whole new level of tastiness!
