Tear creamy Italian cheese – or burrata if you can find it – into a fresh and citrussy salad with mustard dressing
Ingredients
- 3 blood (or normal) oranges
- 2 x 125g balls mozzarella, the best you can afford (or burrara, if you can get it), torn
- 2 big handfuls rocket
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- crusty bread, to serve (optional)
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tsp mustard seed (black or brown)
- 1 tsp poppy seed
Method
-
Finely zest 1 of the oranges and mix with the dressing ingredients and some seasoning.
-
Cut the peel from the top and bottom of each orange, then sit each flat on a board. Using a small knife, cut away the peel and pith from each orange, working in downward strokes all the way around. Thinly slice the oranges and scatter over a platter with the mozzarella, rocket and onion.
-
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and eat with crusty bread, if you like.
