Rocket Leaves & Cherry Tomatoes with freshly shredded Cheddar

During the days when I was working full time and he was freelancing, the boyfriend made this for me. This spelled out that he is actually someone who enjoys salad, which is not a common phenomenon among Asian Chinese men! Oh, in case you would like to know how to put this together, scroll down for the ingredients.

This was back in May 2013 when he made this big bowl of salad for dinner. He was being really sweet. He picked me up from the bus stop and purposely didn't mention anything about dinner. It was a pleasant surprise when I caught a glance at the big bowls of salad waiting on the kitchen counter. And I must declare this: I love salad.

He really packed all the leaves into the bowl and made use of the left over chicken from yesterday's dinner. It may not look like much in the photo, but once you look at the recipe, you'll know this is a manly portion :)

A word of warning though, for those who do not like rocket leaves, you can easily substitute it with any other crunchy leafy vegetable. If you prefer onions over rocket leaves, do slice thinly.
