The inner leaves will be better as the outer leaves are a little too big for a mouthful.

Method
- Separate the chicory into individual leaves, wash carefully and dry. Leave to one side.
- Combine the tomato, red onion, spring onions and fresh parsley. Stir through the lime juice and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, mix well and leave for 20 mins in the fridge. Remove and place the mixture in a sieve over a bowl to remove excess liquid.
- Place a spoonful of the salsa into each individual chicory leaf and crumble some blue cheese on top of each one. You can then spoon over the lime and vinegar mixture if you like but be careful not to add too much liquid as it may drip.
