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.

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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover endive. I also like to add some chopped bacon or grilled chicken for a bit of protein.
