Fig, Radicchio & Gorgonzola Salad
This 10-minute salad takes minimal time but offers a big taste reward
All this salad takes is a little separating, slicing, shaking and putting it all together. Ensure you have ripe figs as they will be full of juice and sweetness. A New Zealand blue cheese is the perfect accompaniment, as are locally farmed hazelnuts for a crunchy addition.
