Summer Fresh: Rocket Salad With Melon
The most popular new book about salad and only salad comes from British restaurateur John Vincent and food writer Jane Vincent. Leon Happy Salads brings the recipes from the beloved London produce palace straight to your kitchen. Remember: A boring salad is not a happy salad.
This is the perfect blend of salty, peppery and fresh(y). [Editor's note: In case you were wondering, "rocket" is the British term for arugula.]
