Salad of Wood Pigeon with Yorkshire Blue Cheese, Warm Cobnut and Russet Dressing and Greengage ‘Spritzer’

A LIGHT SALAD AS A STARTER OR MAIN COURSE FOR LATE AUGUST/EARLY SEPTEMBER, WITH THE YORKSHIRE BLUE, A SOFT BLUE CHEESE MADE LOCALLY BY JUDY BELL AT NEWSHAM GRANGE, NEAR THIRSK, COMBINED WITH THE SHELL COBNUTS AND NEW SEASON RUSSETS GIVE A ‘WALDORFESQUE’ FEEL TO THE DISH. AS A LITTLE TIPPLE, WE ADD THE SPRITZER MADE FROM OUR HOMEMADE GREENGAGE GIN AND A LITTLE SPARKLING MINERAL WATER SERVED IN A SHOT GLASS, ON ICE. VERY LIGHT, VERY NICE!
