Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
- Cut the head of endive in half lengthwise, remove the triangle of core at the base of each half so the leaves separate, and cut the leaves in half again lengthwise. Place in a medium bowl. Drizzle the leaves with the vinaigrette and add the walnuts, Roquefort and apple. Add the arugula and toss. Zest the orange into the salad with a strip zester. Peel the orange and remove the white pith around the orange with a small sharp knife. Cut the orange sections between the membranes and toss them on the salad. Discard the membrane. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
ENDIVE, PEAR AND ROQUEFORT SALAD
This is a wonderful recipe by Ina Garten / The Barefoot Contessa. It is from her book "Barefoot in Paris". We paid $9.95 each for a lesser endive salad a few nights ago, so I vowed to find one to make at home and boy, did we love this!! I couldn't wait to share, and hope you like it! (Please note: this recipe has one raw egg yolk...)

CHICORY-ENDIVE ROQUEFORT AND WALNUT SALAD
We often eat this simple salad for lunch, only accompanied by crusty French baguette and a glass of wine! Feel free to substitute the Roquefort for a blue cheese that is readily available where you live; it is also superb with Stilton & Shropshire Blue cheese. I have served this as a dinner party starter & also in place of a "just" cheese course as well! If you cannot obtain walnut oil, any other nut oil will be fine, or a good olive oil. This recipe serves 6 people for a light luncheon or 8-10 people as a dinner party starter.

Steps:
- To make the dressing whisk the two oils, mustard, vinegar, sugar & lemon juice together well.
- Season well with freshly ground black pepper & a touch of salt, the blue cheese is quite salty already.
- Keep the dressing at room temperature until serving. The dressing can be made up to 1 week ahead of time.
- To toast the walnuts, heat up a roomy frying pan over a high heat & add the walnuts. Pan-toast them for about 5-10 minutes, stirring around constantly until they are a deep golden colour but NOT dark brown or burnt! (You must keep an eye on them at all times.).
- Take off the heat & cool.
- Wash or wipe the chicory heads and cut 1" to 2" off the base of each one.
- Separate the leaves gently and wash again if necessary.
- Place the leaves into an attractive flat dish or on to a serving platter.
- Crumble over the blue cheese & pour over the dressing.
- Scatter the toasted walnuts over the top & serve immediately with crusty bread.

Tips:
- Choose the right oranges. Use navel oranges for a sweeter flavor, or blood oranges for a more tart flavor.
- Use fresh endives. Look for endives that are crisp and have tightly packed leaves.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
- Serve the salad immediately. Endives will wilt if they sit in the dressing for too long.
