Here’s a French classic re-fashioned. Red chicory and golden beets provide a lovely contrast in this recipe, though you can easily swap the colours around using yellow endives and red beets instead. Omit the blue cheese for a healthier salad option.

In a salad bowl place 3 red chicory, cut in half lengthwise and sliced, 1 small golden beet, scrubbed but still raw, topped and tailed, and very thinly sliced, 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese, and 1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts.

To make the salad dressing place the following ingredients in a small jar and shake vigorously: 1 tsp wholegrain mustard, 2 tsp sherry vinegar, 1 tbs walnut oil, 1 tbs rapeseed oil. Pour over the salad. Season with freshly ground sea salt and pepper.
