WATERCRESS ENDIVE SALAD WITH ROASTED PEARS AND ROQUEFORT



Watercress Endive Salad With Roasted Pears and Roquefort image

This is a wonderful easy to assemble salad which looks stunning on a buffet table. The pears can be roasted 1 day ahead of time if stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator. If desired, replace part of the olive oil in the dressing with walnut oil. Do not substitute red wine for the port. You need the robust port flavour here.

CHICORY-ENDIVE ROQUEFORT AND WALNUT SALAD



Chicory-Endive Roquefort and Walnut Salad image

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.
