Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

- Thinly slice the pear and toss it with the lemon juice in a salad bowl. Add the walnuts, endive, and frisée. Crumble the blue cheese over the top.
- Using the back of a chef's knife, mash the garlic and coarse salt into a paste. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Add the garlic paste, mustard, and lemon juice to a bowl and whisk until combined. Whisk in the olive oil in a thin stream until the dressing thickens and emulsifies.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.

ENDIVE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
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.

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:
- For the best flavor, use ripe pears that are slightly firm to the touch. - To prevent the pears from browning, toss them in a mixture of lemon juice and water before adding them to the salad. - If you don't have any walnuts on hand, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds. - To make the dressing, you can use either a blender or a food processor. If you're using a blender, be sure to start with the olive oil and vinegar and then add the other ingredients. - If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy. ###Conclusion:
This Belgian endive, blue cheese, and pear salad is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, tangy blue cheese, and bitter endive is simply irresistible. The dressing is also very flavorful, and it complements the other ingredients perfectly. Whether you're serving it as a starter or a main course, this salad is sure to impress your guests.
