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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small garlic clove, finely minced or puréed
1/2 cup plain yogurt, thinned out with a little milk if thick
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ounces good quality blue cheese or Roquefort, at room temperature, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
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

Steps:

  • Whisk together garlic and yogurt in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and whisk together. Add blue cheese or Roquefort and Dijon mustard and whisk together until mixture is fairly smooth, with a few lumps of cheese.
  • Trim away the very end of the endives and cut lengthwise into quarters. Arrange on a platter or on individual plates and spoon on dressing. Top with chives and finely diced apple, and serve.

SPINACH AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH KASHA AND MUSHROOMS



Spinach and Endive Salad With Kasha and Mushrooms image

Kasha is not the main ingredient here, so I wouldn't call this a grain salad, but rather a substantial leafy green salad with grain. I love pairing this nutty grain with both cooked and raw spinach, and with walnuts and walnut oil. Kasha also goes well with foods that have a bitter edge, like endive, so I included some in the salad.

ENDIVE AND APPLE SALAD



Endive and Apple Salad image

This salad came to The Times from Kathryn Anible, a personal chef in New York, whose solution to adding color to your winter table lies in this fresh, crunchy salad. "I just like it because the endive is not frequently used in salads, and it tends to be a little bitter," she said. "The apple sweetens it up a little bit and makes it more approachable. It has a nice crunchy, fresh texture."

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound (about 6) Belgian endives
1 tart apple

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked kasha or quinoa instead of cooking it from scratch.
  • For a sweeter salad, use sweeter apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tarter salad, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples.
  • If you don't have endives, you can substitute another bitter green, such as arugula or radicchio.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Endive, apple, and kasha salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is also very flavorful.
