Ingredients

For 4 servings
  • For the salad
  • 3 chicory (endive)
  • 120 g Comté or another hard cheese
  • 1 blood orange
  • 1 orange or mandarin

  1. Wash the chicory and separate the leaves.
  2. Peel the oranges, removing all the pith, and cut them into segments.
  3. Chop the walnuts and, if you like, toast them for more flavour.
  4. In a bowl, combine the chicory, orange segments, walnuts and your choice of cheese (Comté, Mimolette, Cheddar or Gouda).

  6. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently.
  7. Serve with dill on top, if you fancy.
