BEET, ENDIVE, BLUE CHEESE AND HAZELNUT SALAD
Steps:
- Cook beets in one of the following ways: 1) cut off beet tops and boil or steam whole beets until soft 2) slice beets and roast with olive oil 3) slice beets, drizzle with olive oil and grill (in a tin foil bundle to keep steam and juices in) Crumble blue cheese and mix with sour cream or yogurt in a medium size bowl. Add garlic salt and black pepper to taste and let sit while beets finish cooking. While beets are still cooking, find about 20 of the best and biggest endive leaves and arrange on a platter. Crush hazlenuts into pieces. If you steamed the beets, peel with a spoon or a butter knife and then slice. Put one teaspoon full of the blue cheese dip at the base of each endive leaf. Then place a beet slice on the dip. Arrange all leaves like this. Sprinkle the endive slivers around the prepared platter, and top with crushed hazelnuts. This salad can douple as an appetizer. It is easiest to eat with the fingers. Take the remaining endive, cut in half the long way, and then cut sliver cross-sections. Toss these small slivers with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
