88 STARTERS
Chicory, walnut and
stilton salad
This delectable starter can be thrown together in a matter of
minutes. Serve it on a large platter, making sure each chicory
leaf is cradling some crumbled stilton, crushed walnuts and
dressing - then you can dispense with the cutlery.
Trim the bases of the chicory and separate the large outer leaves.
(Save the tiny leaves a round the core for another salad). Arrange the
leaves around one large or two smaller platters. Crumble over the
stilton and scatter over the crushed walnuts, distributing them
evenly among the leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredient s for the dressing,
seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle th _ dressing lightly
over the salad. Serve immediately as a casual starter ur a canape, with
a glass of white wine.
