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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are brightly colored, plump, and free of blemishes. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have soft spots.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: To add more flavor and texture to your salad, use a combination of different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Slice the tomatoes thinly: This will help the tomatoes absorb the dressing and make them easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the endive: This will prevent the endive from tearing and will help to create clean, even slices.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let the salad rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to soak into the tomatoes and endive.

Conclusion:

This endive tomato salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet tomatoes, bitter endive, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table. With its vibrant colors and simple ingredients, this salad is also a great way to add a pop of color and nutrition to your meal.
