Ingredients (for 4 people)

For the salad:
1 bunch of rocket (the leaves), cleaned and roughly chopped
2-3 chicory, cleaned and cut in medium slices
1 tea-cup of sun-dried tomatoes (preserved in oil), well drained and finely chopped
1 orange, separated into segments (thoroughly cleaned of the white threads and the membrane)
1 yellow onion, cut in thin rings
½ tea-cup of pomegranate arils

For the dressing:
1 tbsp of mild mustard
1 tsp of honey

2 tbsp of Greek strained yoghurt
2 tbsp of apple vinegar
5 tbsp of olive oil
salt
black pepper

Method:
Put in a large salad bowl the vegetables and the rest of the ingredients and toss with your hands.

In another bowl (or in a jar) put the dressing ingredients and beat very well with a whisk until you end up with a nice medium-thick mixture.

Pour over the salad, toss well with two spoons and serve immediately.
