Known as a treatment for everyday ailments, chicory is often used in coffee or salad recipes. We like to balance the strong flavor of this endive-live leaf with sweet pecans and the herbs of our Blue Cheese in Oil for an easy salad.
1. Slice base from chicory, then slice up from base for approx. an inch. Separate out all spears and toss all chicory together with spinach, both the pears and nuts.
2. Place in large salad bowl. Fold through the cheese cubes with sufficient oil and a little lemon juice to give a good dressing.
