Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the grill to high.
Toast the whole loaf of bread, upside down, for 2 minutes until golden. Remove from grill and top the untoasted side with avocado and gorgonzola. Toast under the grill for 4 minutes until the cheese melts and runs over the avocado.
Meanwhile, for the salad, toss the witlof, cucumber, celery, apple, walnuts and parsley together in a bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, then dress with lemon juice and olive oil.
Cut the Turkish bread into wedges and serve immediately with the salad.
