Ingredients

  • 200g Yoghurt
  • 80g Blue Cheese
  • 3 Limes
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Big Iceberg Lettuce
  • 80g Chorizo
  • Handful of Parsley
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt

Method

  1. Mix the yoghurt and blue cheese in a bowl, mash together with fork to break up any larger chunks of blue cheese. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper and add the zest and juice of 2 limes for a tangy, funky dressing.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion and toss with a big pinch of salt and the juice from the remaining lime. Set aside for 10 minutes to quick pickle.
  3. Cut your Iceberg into wedges. Be sure to cut through the root so the lettuce stays intact.
  4. Dice up your chorizo and add to a medium frying pan. Set over a medium heat and cook until rendered and crispy. Save all of the oil!
  5. Roughly chop your parsley.
  6. Add the wedges of lettuce to a big serving plate and cover liberally with the blue cheese dressing.
  7. Add the pickled onions and the crispy chorizo. Drizzle over the chorizo oil and scatter with chopped parsley.
