A chunk of Old Winchester
1 Medium Orange (peeled and segmented)

Mixed Leaf/ Rocket
Mint Leaf
Balsamic Glaze

What to do…

Roast your beetroot until fully cooked. Remove all the skin, cut into similar sized segments to an orange and add to Pickle Liquid.
Leave your beetroot for a minimum of 24 hours to quick pickle.
Peel your orange and separate the segments and place to one side.
Cut the red onion into fine slices and place to one side.
Toss the leaf, mint, oil, salt and pepper into a mixing bowl and ensure that all the leaf is coated.
Add your orange, red onion and beetroot.
Toss the salad and present in a bowl. Dress with balsamic glaze.
Using a cheese shaver, make small twists/ shavings from the Old Winchester. Scatter these shavings over the salad bowl.
