    Have now made it several times, and roasted the beetroots instead of boiling, it is a fantastic meal!

    I also don't know what Raspberry Vincotto is and found the rocket leaves to be a little bitter, I imagine the Vincotto would have sweetened them. The next time I made this dish I used baby spinich leaves instead of the rocket.
    This has become on of my favourite dishes and each time I make it my guests rave about it.

    A real winner. Don't have Raspberry Vincotto either, but find with the yoghurt dressing is not a necessity. I use chicken as well for this dish and it's superb.

    rockets are bitter CD6 ,they dont need salt and need a lot of lemon juice or cetric taste, try lemon juice with sweet orange juice or raspberry juice or any sweet juice. i alwaus add something sweet to rockets like oranges, shredded apples...etc. try it
