Method
step 1
Finely dice the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion. Trim the spring onions and cut into scallions. De-seed and finely chop the green chilli.step 2
Next, roughly chop the coriander and mint. It is a good idea to clap the mint in your hands first, this breaks the capilliaries in the leaves and releases the flavour better.step 3
Crumble the feta cheese and place in a mixing bowl with the above ingredients and add the rocket, olive oil, white wine vinegar and salt/pepper.step 4
Toss the salad together for at least 30 seconds until well mixed and dressing has covered the ingredients.step 5
Serve with the balsamic reduction drizzled over to taste.step 6
If you want to make your own balsamic reduction, place equal amounts of caster sugar and balsamic vinegar in a heavy bottomed pan and leave on low heat for 4-6 hours until the liquid coats the back of spoon.
