Ingredients
- 4 heads of chicory (it's nice to have a mix of 2 red and 2 white)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 200g blue cheese (Stilton or similar)
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 75ml double cream
- juice ½ lemon
- 4 tbsp crème fraîche
Instructions
- Slice the base off each chicory and peel off the leaves until you reach the core, which you can either cut into quarters or leave whole. Arrange the leaves on a platter.
- Drizzle the chicory with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Crumble half the blue cheese over the chicory, then mix the remaining cheese with the vinegar, squashing with a fork to make it creamy. Add the cream, lemon juice and crème fraîche, then whisk together. Adjust the seasoning, spoon over the salad and serve.
