Ingredients

Salad Mix

  • 1 bunch fresh rocket leaves
  • 50 g parmesan cheese shaved (use a vegetable peeler)
  • 40 g walnuts, raw chopped into pieces
  • 1 pear ripe

Dressing

  • 1 tbsp low GI honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Dressing

  • In a small bowl, combine warmed honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil and white wine vinegar. Stir through until well combined. Taste and alter if needed i.e., a little more Dijon if you like a ‘bite’ or honey if you like it sweet! (You may need to make more dressing but this is the general ratio)

Salad

  • To toast walnuts: spread walnuts out on a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds. Careful as the plate will be hot! Alternatively, toast walnuts in a dry pan but be careful not to burn as the walnuts cook quickly.
  • Place the rocket in a large bowl. Scatter over parmesan,walnuts and pear. When ready to serve the salad, add the dressing and tosswell. Serve immediately.

Good carbohydrates (or low GI carbohydrates) are more slowly digested helping keep your blood sugars stable, whereas bad carbohydrates cause your blood glucose levels to peak and crash.
