The dressing has virtually no oil in it, balancing acidity with the sweetness of apple juice and fattiness of the cheese and nuts.

ENDIVE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Endive Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing image

I modeled this salad after one of my own great secret weaknesses: iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing. The big difference here, of course, is that endive has much more flavor than iceberg, which has more texture than flavor. The bitter edge of the endive is soothed by the sharp blue cheese dressing, and the combination is set off by the small apple dice that garnishes the wedges.

1 small garlic clove, finely minced or puréed
1/2 cup plain yogurt, thinned out with a little milk if thick

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 large or 6 medium endives
Minced chives
1 apple, cut in very small (1/4 inch or smaller) dice and tossed with lemon juice for garnish
