CHEF’S SECRET
For more intense flavour, let the salad rest in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. This allows the flavours to blend and intensify.
- If you want to add an extra crunchy touch, dry roast the walnuts in a pan for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.
- The choice of blue cheese is crucial: opt for a mild blue if you prefer subtle flavours, or a stronger blue if you enjoy a more pronounced taste.
- Try adding other ingredients depending on your tastes: for example, apple for a sweet touch or cashews for a bit of crunch.
- Serve this salad on a pretty plate and garnish with a few fresh parsley leaves for a more elegant presentation.
- A drizzle of fresh lemon juice just before serving will give the salad a tang that perfectly balances the rich flavours and textures.
