WATERCRESS ENDIVE SALAD WITH ROASTED PEARS AND ROQUEFORT
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.

Steps:
- To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and mustard in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Peel pears. Cut into quarters and core. Cut each pear into approximately 10 thick slices each. Place pear slices in a bowl and toss well in the Port and the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange on a heavy baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes or until slices are just tender. Let cool.
- Place walnuts on baking sheet. Toast for 5 minutes. Watch them carefully so they do not burn.
- Remove the tough stems from the watercress. Remove cores from the endive and cut into thick slices.
- To serve, arrange watercress around the outer edge of a large serving platter with the endives in the centre. Drizzle with dressing. Top with roasted pear slices and sprinkle with toasted walnuts and crumbled Roquefort.

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...)

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.
