Fig & orange salad with melting Shropshire Blue

Bored of the same old salad? Figs, walnuts, oranges and shropshire blue make this one a real treat

What you need:

• 3 oranges
• 4 fresh figs
• 150g (5oz) toasted walnuts nuts
• 150g (5oz) red cabbage, shredded finely
• 175g (6oz) rocket

For the dressing:

• 150g (5oz) Shropshire blue
• 200ml (7floz) creme fraiche
• freshly ground black pepper

What you do:

1. Slice the top and bottom off each orange and peel down the sides with a sharp knife. Cut between each membrane to remove the orange segments. Place in a bowl with any juices. Wipe and quarter the figs and add to the orange segments with the walnuts, shredded red cabbage and rocket leaves. Toss together well and divide between 4 serving plates.
2. To prepare the dressing: Crumble the Shropshire Blue into a small heavy based pan and cook, stirring, over a gentle heat until cheese melts. Whisk in the creme fraiche and heat gently (don't allow mixture to bubble) until you have a smooth creamy dressing. Drizzle over each plate of salad and season with freshly ground black pepper.
