Baby marrow salad

Ingredients

Dressing

  • 45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 5ml (1 tsp) runny honey
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) mustard seeds
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Salad

  • 700g baby marrows
  • 5ml (1 tsp) salt
  • 250g fresh rocket
  • 200g green olives
  • 30g parmesan, coarsely grated

Method

Place the dressing ingredients in a clean screw-top jar and shake until well combined.

Using a mandolin slicer, cut the baby marrows into paper-thin slices. Toss with the salt in a large colander and leave to drain for 20 minutes. Rinse and drain, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry with a clean dishcloth or paper towel.

To serve, place the rocket, olives, baby marrows and half the parmesan in a bowl. Toss with the dressing and garnish with the remaining parmesan.

Serves 6
