Warm Mushroom and Stilton Salad

This warm mushroom and Stilton salad is a sophisticated blend of earthy flavours and contrasting textures. The golden, sautéed chanterelles offer a nutty depth that pairs beautifully with the salty crunch of pancetta and the sharp, creamy tang of crumbled Stilton. Finished with a punchy sherry vinegar dressing, this dish elevates simple mushrooms into a truly elegant starter or light lunch that feels indulgent yet refined.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this savoury salad is naturally low in carbohydrates while remaining rich in fibre and vitamin-rich greens. The use of heart-healthy olive oil and fresh seasonal ingredients makes it a nourishing choice for those seeking a balanced, wholesome meal. Serve it immediately while the mushrooms are still warm to allow the blue cheese to soften slightly into the leaves.
