Chicory Salad with Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnuts
Chicory, pear, blue cheese and walnuts come together in this salad from Roman Paulus, where bitter, sweet and piquant flavours meet. Chicory is naturally bitter, so it is balanced here by a smooth dressing, juicy pear and a punchy blue cheese. This symphony of flavours will have you making the salad again and again.
