Endive, Blue Cheese, and Walnut Salad image

The strong flavors and assertive crunch of this salad pair well with heavier main dishes such as roasts and stews. We love it with a standing rib roast.

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 Serving, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 heads Belgian endive
1 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup walnut oil (can use other neutral oil such as canola, but the walnut oil gives a great flavor)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut off the bottoms and very tops of the endive heads. Separate into individual leaves, and julienne the leaves into sticks. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Place the endive into a salad bowl along with the walnuts and parsley. Toss together.
  • Whisk all the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and toss together.
  • Scatter the blue cheese on top.
  • Enjoy!
