Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Cut or tear the sourdough (4 slices) into 3cm pieces and arrange on a baking tray. Grate over the lemon zest (1), then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp.
step 2
Meanwhile, place the onion (1/2) in a small bowl with ½ tsp salt and squeeze over the lemon juice. Set aside to macerate.
step 3
When the croutons are ready, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
step 4
Meanwhile, halve and de-stone the plums (4) and brush with a little olive oil. Heat a griddle pan to medium-high and grill the plums, cut side down, for 3-4 minutes or until charred. Set aside.
step 5
To make the dressing, combine the fig vinegar (1 tbsp), white wine vinegar (1 tbsp), mustard (1 tsp) and olive oil (2 tbsp) in an empty jam jar. Season with salt and pepper then shake to combine. Taste to check you’re happy with the balance of flavours.
step 6
When you’re ready to assemble, toss together the rocket (40 g), croutons, beetroot (200 g) and red onion with most of the dressing in a large bowl. Tumble onto a big platter, then arrange the plums on top and tear over the gorgonzola (75 g). Spoon over the remaining dressing.
