BLUE CHEESE, WALNUT, AND CHICORY SALAD



Blue Cheese, Walnut, and Chicory Salad image

If you've been looking at endive and radicchio in the stores for years but never bought any because you thought you just wouldn't like it, I'm here to tell you, you probably do--especially in a salad like this. When chicory is combined with a sweet and tangy mustard vinaigrette, mixed with toasted, crunchy nuts, and wonderfully rich, subtly salty blue cheese, it all makes perfect sense.

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup olive oil
1 head radicchio
4 heads Belgian endive
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Stir or toss walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat until very hot to the touch and toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and pepper together in a bowl for dressing. Pour in olive oil, about 1 teaspoon at a time, whisking constantly, until thick and coats the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust as necessary.
  • Cut radicchio in half; cut out the core using 2 angled cuts. Cut each half in half again and slice across into about 1-inch pieces. Slice root ends off of endive and peel off about 1/3 of the leaves, leaving them whole for presentation. Slice remaining endive into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Transfer all radicchio and endive to a bowl and toss, making sure leaves are separated and evenly distributed. Crumble in about 1/2 of the walnuts and 1/2 of the blue cheese. Pour in dressing and toss with your hands until everything is perfectly coated.
  • Place whole endive spears on a serving plate. Pile salad on top and scatter remaining walnuts and blue cheese on top.

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Lunch, Side dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 butternut squash , peeled and cut into large chunks, seeds reserved
2 red onions , each cut into quarters
3 garlic cloves , peeled and bashed
3 ½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
handful thyme sprigs , leaves stripped, plus extra to garnish
300g pearl barley
50g walnut , roughly chopped
1 ½ tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp brown sugar
½ tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
100g baby spinach , shredded
140g blue cheese , thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the squash, onions and garlic with 2 tbsp of the oil and some seasoning. Roast for 35-45 mins or until the vegetables crisp up in places - turning halfway through cooking and adding the thyme leaves. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, discarding the garlic. Cook the barley, following pack instructions, until al dente. Drain and cool.
  • Meanwhile, rinse the squash seeds, removing any flesh, and dry thoroughly. Put the walnuts and squash seeds in a frying pan and toast until golden brown. Add ½ tbsp oil, the maple syrup, sugar, chilli flakes and some salt. Let it bubble for a few mins, until the sugar has caramelised. Tip onto a tray, allow to cool, then bash into pieces. Make a dressing by mixing the balsamic, mustard, remaining oil and some seasoning.
  • Toss the squash and onions through the barley, followed by the spinach and dressing. Scatter over the cheese, nuts and some extra thyme sprigs to serve.
