Everyone loves a good pizza night.
In our family, we like to make our own, and I always make this salad to go with our pizza. It's the perfect complement because it's salty, crunchy, fresh, healthy, easy to make, and great with pizza.

Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
