I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, so I used crumbled feta cheese instead. It was still very good.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover endives. It's also a very healthy and filling salad. I like to add some diced chicken or tofu to make it a more complete meal.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought dressing, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade one. I will definitely be making this salad again.

I've never been a huge fan of endives, but this salad changed my mind! The bitterness of the endives was perfectly offset by the sweetness of the walnuts and the creaminess of the blue cheese. The dressing was also spot-on, with just the right amount
