Step-by-Step Instructions

Add the sliced chicory and iceberg lettuce to a large serving bowl. Scatter in the chopped parsley and toss lightly to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well so the leaves are evenly coated.

Top with the cubed Gorgonzola and finely chopped red chilli. Serve immediately while the leaves are crisp.

Chef's Tips

If you prefer a milder bite, use less chilli or remove the seeds before chopping. Blue cheese can be replaced with another creamy blue cheese if needed. Dress the salad just before serving to keep the leaves fresh and crunchy.
