Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 nectarines
4 pears
4 plums
8 heads Belgian endive
4 heads frisee
4 heads radicchio
6 ounces walnuts
6 ounces hazelnuts
Butter
12 ounces Maytag bleu cheese
Salt
Pepper
3 ounces sherry vinaigrette
3 ounces olive oil
6 ounces walnut oil
3 to 4 shallots, minced
Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • In advance, split fruits in half, season and grill (if ripeness is an issue, finish by roasting).
  • Cut endive and frisee in half. Cut radicchio in quarters.
  • Toss nuts with melted butter, salt, and pepper, then lightly roast. Cool and crush by hand or with a rolling pin.
  • In a hot skillet or roasting pan drizzle lightly with olive oil, season the endive, frisee, and radicchio and roast them cut side down (you do want to color the endive).
  • Toss roasted endives with the vinaigrette. Arrange the lettuces and fruits on the plate, and garnish with nuts and cheese.

The salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less blue cheese next time.

I found that the salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try using less fruit next time.

The Maytag bleu cheese is the perfect finishing touch to this salad. It adds a lot of flavor without being overpowering.

I'm not a big fan of endive, but I really enjoyed it in this salad. It added a nice crunch.

This salad is so easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. I'm definitely going to be making it again soon.

I'm not usually a fan of blue cheese, but it really works in this salad. It adds a nice sharpness that balances out the sweetness of the fruits.

This salad is the perfect summer dish! It's light and refreshing, but still packed with flavor. I love the contrast between the sweet grilled fruits and the bitter roasted endive.
