Blood orange salad with mozzarella & rocket recipe | Good Food

Blood orange, mozzarella & rocket salad

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

step 1
Finely zest 1 of the oranges and mix with the dressing ingredients and some seasoning.
step 2
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.
step 3
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and eat with crusty bread, if you like.
