Usually when I need a salad to accomany a main course, I end up making this, my favourite, because it is so fresh and flavoursome. And so easy and quick. First I tear up some lettuce - one or two varieties is enough - and add in some fresh leaves of rocket and basil I then chop some cucumber, shave some parmesan and toss in some pine nuts (which can be roasted on a frying pan beforehand, time permitting). I then mix all of these in a bowl, then toss them with some extra virgin olive oil, a small splash of balsamic vinegar, and sea salt and freshly ground peper to taste. Like any lettuce-based salad, serve immediately after adding the dressings, since it goes flat and wilty soon.
