Red chicory is normally not on our shopping list, although it should be, as it makes an incredibly tasty salad option.   Interestingly we weren’t able to find too many recipes on the internet but we came across one by Angela Hartnett which we like and thought we would share it with you.

What do I need?

• 3 red chicory heads – stem cut
• 1 orange peeled – each segment cut in three
• 1 small apple sliced into sticks
• 1 small red onion sliced
• 6-8 green queen olives sliced
• Handful walnuts toasted
• 100 gm of feta cheese
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

How much will I make?

2 large main portions or 4 sides

How do I make it?

For the dressing, whisk the olive oil and vinegar with some seasoning till it emulsifies.  Layer chicory leaves in a salad bowl and add the other ingredients before drizzling a generous portion of the dressing.  Enjoy.
