For the rocket pesto
– In a jug blender, blend the rocket, basil, almonds, garlic, freshly grated parmesan cheese, with a little soya oil to form a paste. Continue mixing the pesto by pouring in the oils in a stream, little by little. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The pesto should have a fluid consistency. Keep a few rocket leaves back for decoration.
– Store the pesto in an airtight jar.
For the salad

– Cut the strawberries into small cubes.
– On a serving dish, combine the strawberries and peas with a little pesto. Place the drained mozzarella in the centre.
