1 red radicchio
1 eating apple, sliced into matchsticks
50 g wild rocket
25 g vegan Pecorino style cheese / other hard vegan cheese, shaved
20 g pine nuts, toasted
10 g dill
For the dressing:
Half lemon, juiced

1 tbsp walnut oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar
Maldon salt

Start by preparing the dressing for the salad. In small bowl or jug, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, walnut oil and cider vinegar. Whisk together and then season with Maldon salt and cracked black pepper. Set aside.
2
To prepare the radicchio, carefully pluck the leaves off working your way into the centre core. Once you reach the inside white core, discard this as it can be bitter and tough.

Drizzle the dressing over the leaves and apple before topping with the vegan cheese shavings and toasted pine nuts, plus a final garnish of dill fronds.
