Method

  1. To make the dressing, whisk the olive oil, sweet chilli sauce, chopped basil leaves and 1 tbsp of the lemon or lime juice together with a sprinkling of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Alternatively, if you prefer a smoother, green-coloured dressing, you can whizz the dressing ingredients in a small blender. Either way, taste and then add more lemon or lime juice or seasoning if you want.
  2. To prepare the salad, peel the mangoes and carefully slice off each fleshy side close to the stone. Slice the mango flesh lengthways into thin strips. Don't throw the stones away, the flesh still attached is the cook's perk. Separate the slices of ham and thinly slice the mozzarella.
  3. You can now set everything out on a serving platter, or on individual plates. Pile the rocket in the centre. Arrange a circle of mango and ham round the rocket, sort of weaving them in and out of each other. Finish with an outer ring of overlapping mozzarella slices, then drizzle with the dressing. Grind some extra black pepper on top if you like, and scatter everything with the basil leaves.

    Excellent! I was reading the ingredients sceptically; but this Italian-Asian fusion salad certainly impresses once put together. Everyone was asking for this recipe after starters and no could believe how simple the dressing was.

    Very good. Dressing was a little oily at first, but I amped up the lemon and it was delicious. The salad itself was flawless.

    I can't believe how easy this is! And soooo flavoursome. I've been having it for lunch so altered the quantities a bit but it is so delicious.
