Dressing
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
6 3/4-inch-thick slices sourdough flute and baguette
1/4 cup olivada* or prepared tapenade spread
Salad
2 heads Belgian endive, coarsely chopped
1 head curly endive, center leaves only, torn into pieces
1/2 cup pine nuts (about 2 ounces), toasted
*An olive spread available at Italian markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets. If unavailable, puree pitted black, brine-cured olives.

Steps:

  • For dressing:
  • Puree fresh lemon juice and chopped garlic in blender or food processor. With machine running, gradually add olive oil and blend until smooth. Add grated Parmesan cheese and blend until thickened. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover dressing tightly and refrigerate.)

  • For salad:
  • Combine greens in large bowl. Toss with vinaigrette dressing. Sprinkle salad with pine nuts and croutons and serve.

This salad was a bit of a disappointment. The endive was tough and the lemon vinaigrette was too tart.

Not a fan of this salad. The endive was tough and the lemon vinaigrette was bland.

This salad was just okay. The endive was a bit too bitter for my taste, and the lemon vinaigrette was a bit too sweet.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much lemon juice in the vinaigrette. Next time I'll use less lemon juice and see how that turns out.

This was a great salad! The endive was crisp and the lemon vinaigrette was light and flavorful. I also added一些 chopped red onion and crumbled blue cheese, which added a nice touch of sharpness.

This endive salad was a refreshing and delicious summer dish. The lemon vinaigrette was light and tangy, and the endive added a nice crunch. I also added some crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts for extra flavor and texture.
