The perfect side salad

So it's May, and it's chilly, and this time last year the temperatures were soaring!

But we don't let the cooler evenings put us off, we love our salads whether as a main meal, or as a side dish.

You can't beat a simple side salad of Rocket, Parmesan & Balsamic which tastes amazing and yet is so healthy.

With just 8 calories per 2-cup serving, Rocket has virtually no impact on your daily calorie allowance. At the same time, the nutrient-packed greens provide substantial amounts of vitamins A, K and C, folate, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium and several beneficial phytochemicals. Add to that all the goodness of Rapeseed Oil, which is loaded with vitamin E and Omega 3 fatty acids, and you have the perfect combination of health and taste.
