This elegant vegetarian starter offers a refined twist on the classic wedge salad, swapping heavy dressings for a sophisticated Zinfandel vinaigrette. The soft, buttery leaves of the Boston lettuce provide a delicate base for the bold, savoury notes of crumbled Stilton and the earthy crunch of toasted walnuts. It is a dish that celebrates contrasting textures, making it a wonderful opening course for a seasonal dinner party.
Preparing this salad is remarkably simple, relying on high-quality shop-bought staples like extra-virgin olive oil and walnut oil to create a rich, emulsified dressing. While Stilton provides a traditional British finish, the bright acidity of the red wine vinegar ensures the dish remains light and refreshing. Serve these wedges immediately after dressing to maintain the crispness of the greens.
