Endive salad with toasted walnuts and breadcrumbs is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. The combination of the bitter endive, crunchy walnuts, and savory breadcrumbs creates a flavor profile that is both complex and satisfying. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, as endive is packed with vitamins K and A, and walnuts are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

ENDIVE SALAD WITH CANDIED WALNUTS, ORANGE CARAMEL DRESSING AND BLUE CHEESE
You can use a lot of oranges for this recipe: Minneolas, tangerines, navels. You can also use tangerines if you prefer - whatever looks best at the supermarket. This is fun because you candy the nuts and clean the caramel off the pan by using it to make a tasty dressing. The sweetness is so good with the walnuts and bitter greens. Use endive, chicory, escarole, radicchio or whatever other bitter greens are good. Want to be dairy-free? Simply omit the blue cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Arrange the walnuts on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, really toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Spray a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a large saute pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a light amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts in a single layer over the caramel. Spray a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and stir the nuts, quickly but carefully, to coat with the caramel. Transfer the nuts from the pan onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling the nuts so they separate as they land on the parchment. Season with salt.
- To the pan with the residual caramel, add the vinegar and orange juice. Warm the pan, whisking until the caramel, vinegar and orange juice are well combined. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the mustard and oil. Adjust the seasoning.
- Arrange the endive and radicchio leaves in a single layer on a family-style large platter. Intersperse the orange segments and walnuts with the endive and radicchio. Season with salt to taste. Drizzle with all of the dressing. Top with the blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD
This classic French combination makes a great autumn and winter salad. Walnuts and apples are always a good mix, and their flavors contrast nicely with the bitter endive. Gruyère cheese has a nutty flavor and adds a bit of protein, as well.

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:
- Use fresh, crisp endives: Choose endives that are firm and have bright green leaves. Avoid any endives that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- Make the breadcrumbs fresh: Fresh breadcrumbs are much more flavorful than store-bought breadcrumbs. To make your own breadcrumbs, simply tear or cut some slices of bread into small pieces and then toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is one of the key ingredients in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years and has a rich, complex flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The endives will start to wilt if they sit for too long, so don't make it ahead of time.
Conclusion:
This endive salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this unique vegetable. The endives are crisp and refreshing, the walnuts add a nutty crunch, the breadcrumbs add a savory flavor, and the balsamic vinegar dressing ties it all together. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats.
