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.

This is a wonderful recipe by Ina Garten / The Barefoot Contessa. It is from her book "Barefoot in Paris".

(Please note: this recipe has one raw egg yolk...)

Watercress and Endive Salad With Pears and Roquefort image

Pears go wonderfully with all types of blue cheese, whether Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola or an American blue such as Maytag.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, salads and dressings

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large, ripe but firm Comice or Bartlett pear
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons pecans 1 ounce, lightly toasted
1 bunch watercress, trimmed about 4 ounces
2 endives, broken into leaves
2 ounces Roquefort, Stilton or another blue cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon sherry or Champagne vinegar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, to taste
Salt
freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil

Steps:

  • Peel, core and thinly slice the pear. Cut the slices in half so they're not too long. Toss with the lime juice.
  • Combine the pears, pecans, watercress, endive, blue cheese and tarragon in a large bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil and walnut oil. Toss with the salad, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears for the best flavor and texture.
  • Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality Roquefort cheese. A milder cheese will not have as much flavor and will be lost in the other ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling. The pears will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This simple yet elegant salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet pears, crunchy walnuts, and salty Roquefort cheese is irresistible. The dressing is light and tangy, and it perfectly complements the other ingredients. If you are looking for a new salad to try, this one is definitely worth a try.
