BEET AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH GARLIC AND HERB VINAIGRETTE



Beet and Endive Salad with Garlic and Herb Vinaigrette image

Provided by Amy Finley

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 to 4 small-sized red beets, greens trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt, for seasoning
4 large or 6 small heads Belgian endive, cored
Garlic and Herb Vinaigrette, recipe follows
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt, for seasoning
Pepper, for seasoning
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Place the beets on top, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then fold the long and short edges of the aluminum foil up to the middle and roll together, making a packet with the beets inside. Put in the oven and roast until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Can be done a day or two ahead of time.) Allow to cool, then slip the skins from the beets, trim the ends, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
  • Quarter the endives lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch thick moons. Combine the beets and endive in a salad bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
  • In a small glass bowl, melt the salt in the vinegar, then add the pepper, shallot, garlic, mustard, and herbs and combine well. Whisk in the olive oil in slow, steady stream until the dressing is thickened. Alternately, place all ingredients in a glass jar, close the lid, and shake vigorously.

BEET AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Beet and Endive Salad with Walnuts image

This is a French classic. I add a small amount of goat cheese or feta to mine (in France they might use blue cheese, or no cheese), a tart contrast to the sweet beets.

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Sea salt, kosher salt, or fleur de sel

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.

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer

Time 15m

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.

ENDIVE, PEAR AND ROQUEFORT SALAD

This is a wonderful recipe by Ina Garten / The Barefoot Contessa. It is from her book "Barefoot in Paris". We paid $9.95 each for a lesser endive salad a few nights ago, so I vowed to find one to make at home and boy, did we love this!! I couldn't wait to share, and hope you like it! (Please note: this recipe has one raw egg yolk...)
