  Made this starter over xmas and the flavours balance really well especially the addition of the pecan nuts. I had never made a starter like this before and was a bit apprehensive , but it was very easy and makes an impressive starter. I could not get hold of the chicory so served with watercress only - and this looked and tasted fine.

  Very easy and quick to make. The sweet and sour of the sauce worked lovely together, although I think I was a bit heavy on the lemon juice. This could esily been turned into a main with more salad. Definate must to make again.

  Astonishingly easy and delicious starter. The toasted pecans really complement the cheese. I've used various different lettuces rather than the chicory. It's easy to fit lots under the grill if you're having a few friends round.

  Lovely, really enjoyed this served with a mixed leave salad instead of the chicory and used loads of pecans they taste yummy toasted with the cheese.

  I cooked this as a starter for some friends. I did add a small round of baguette for the cheese to sit on and I didn't use pecans as I don't like them but, all in all, this was a really tasty starter.

  Tried this out the other night for a Christmas starter, I used watercress rather than chicory and it was superb. Really light, quick and with the cranberry aspect spot on for the big day!

  This was delicious and impressed our friends when we served it at a recent dinner party. Used watercress instead of chicory and cranberry sauce (Sainsbury's taste the difference range) instead of jelly, really enjoyed making this and would certainly make again.

  Simple and yummy! A definite crowd pleaser at Christmas time! Goes well with the cracked pepper and figgy bread.

  Made this as a starter before Christmas lunch and it went down very well. Very easy to make and delicious as well. I used rocket and the dressing complemented the goats cheese and the nuts. Will be making it again soon.
