Difficulty 2
This salad is crisp, crunchy and creamy in just the right proportions. For a slightly more indulgent version, you could top it off with some smoky fried pancetta lardons.
1 baby gem lettuce, sliced
½ fennel bulb, thinly shaved on a mandoline
2 small celery stalks, thinly shaved on a mandoline
¼ red onion, thinly shaved on a mandoline
1 avocado, thickly sliced
¼ cup roasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp roasted pine nuts
Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
GORGONZOLA DRESSING
50ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
20g Gorgonzola
1. To make the dressing, whisk the oil and vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Add Gorgonzola and mash with a fork until combined to your taste. Season with freshly cracked pepper.
2. Combine the lettuce, fennel, celery and onion in a bowl and toss well. Add a little dressing and toss to coat, then transfer to plates. Top with avocado, scatter with nuts and sesame seeds, and serve with extra dressing spooned over to taste.
