Preparation
To make dressing, mash Canadian Blue Bénédictin cheese in a bowl with a fork. Blend in vinegar, cream and yogurt. Blend in lemon juice, nutmeg, salt, pepper and chopped chives.
Separate, wash and dry radicchio leaves. Place in a salad bowl with mushrooms, season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. Place on 4 plates, cut chives in 1/2 inch (1 cm) lengths and sprinkle over salad. Serve immediately.

Tips
If you prefer a milder dressing, add 1 tbsp (15 mL) of honey, maple syrup or even sugar. You can also add a little zest from an orange. Don't add nutmeg if you're using orange zest. Radicchio can be replaced with Belgian endives.
*This recipe is also good with Canadian Bleu Ermite cheese, Canadian Borgonzola cheese or Canadian Empereur cheese.
