Step 1.
Drain and rinse the beans, then add them to a large salad bowl.
Step 2.
To a blender, add the tomatoes, shallot, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper, then blitz until smooth. For a finer dressing, strain through a sieve and discard any pulp.
Step 3.
Tear the basil into pieces then add to the beans along with the rocket. Season with salt and pepper then toss to combine.
Step 4.
Plate or box up the beans then tear over the mozzarella. If eating later, store the dressing separately in an airtight container. If eating now, drizzle the dressing over the top. It will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
