ENDIVE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Endive Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing image

I modeled this salad after one of my own great secret weaknesses: iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing. The big difference here, of course, is that endive has much more flavor than iceberg, which has more texture than flavor. The bitter edge of the endive is soothed by the sharp blue cheese dressing, and the combination is set off by the small apple dice that garnishes the wedges.

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small garlic clove, finely minced or puréed
1/2 cup plain yogurt, thinned out with a little milk if thick
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ounces good quality blue cheese or Roquefort, at room temperature, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 large or 6 medium endives
Minced chives
1 apple, cut in very small (1/4 inch or smaller) dice and tossed with lemon juice for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk together garlic and yogurt in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and whisk together. Add blue cheese or Roquefort and Dijon mustard and whisk together until mixture is fairly smooth, with a few lumps of cheese.
  • Trim away the very end of the endives and cut lengthwise into quarters. Arrange on a platter or on individual plates and spoon on dressing. Top with chives and finely diced apple, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm apples: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are great options for this recipe.
  • Use good quality blue cheese: A creamy, flavorful blue cheese will give the salad the best flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The endive will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Apple, blue cheese, and endive are a classic combination that is always a winner. This salad is a great way to enjoy these flavors in a light and refreshing dish. The sweetness of the apples, the sharpness of the blue cheese, and the bitterness of the endive all come together perfectly in this salad. It's a great appetizer or side dish for any occasion.
