Marinated fig & mozzarella salad

Method

• step 1

  Cut each fig lengthways into four wedges. Make a marinade by whisking the vinegar, oil and lemon juice with salt and pepper to taste.

• step 2

  Stand the fig wedges up in the middle of a large shallow serving dish, keeping them close together. Scatter the lemon zest and thyme on top, then drizzle with the marinade. Leave to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

• step 3

  Roughly chop the mint. Drain and slice the mozzarella, toss with half the mint and season with salt and pepper to taste.

• step 4

  To serve, arrange the mozzarella and mint mixture round the figs, scatter with lightly torn rocket leaves and the remaining mint, and drizzle with a little olive oil.
