Cooking Steps
a) Preheat your oven to 200°C. b) Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. c) Pop the pepper onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 10-12 mins. d) Halve the tomatoes. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
a) Tear the ciabatta into bite-sized pieces. Pop onto one side of a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. b) Pop the tomatoes on the other side of the baking tray, toss in the garlic and drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden and crispy, 8-10 mins. c) Drain and tear the mozzarella into small pieces. d) Tear the serrano ham into small pieces.
a) Add the balsamic vinegar, fig jam and olive oil for the dressing ( see ingredients for amount ) to a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. b) Once everything is cooked, remove the veggies and croutons from the oven, add to the bowl with any cooking juices and gently mix. Let the bowl sit for a couple of minutes (to let the bread absorb the flavours). c) Mix in the rocket and mozzarella. d) Divide between your plates and finish by topping with the serrano ham. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sweet-and-salty combination of fig jam, Serrano ham, and mozzarella is widely praised, with the balsamic dressing and warm croutons adding real depth. Some find the dressing a touch too sweet and suggest adding extra balsamic vinegar to balance the fig jam.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, though roasting the pepper, tomatoes, and croutons separately means it takes a little longer than a typical salad.
- Suggestions: Add the croutons at the very last minute to keep them crispy, and hold them back from any leftovers. Some cooks swapped mozzarella for goats cheese or feta to reduce the creaminess, and added extra Serrano ham to bring more savoury balance.
- Next-day meals: The salad is best eaten fresh, as the croutons soften and the ham and mozzarella dry out if left to sit; it works well as a light lunch, starter, or side alongside pasta or other dishes.
- Portions: One portion can be generous enough to serve as a main for two; adding extra rocket, pasta, or a second pack of Serrano ham helps bulk it out further if needed.
