The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll use less vinegar next time.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try using less endive next time.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I used goat cheese instead. It was still delicious.

I love the contrast between the bitter endive and the sweet pecans.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach and endive. It's also a great make-ahead salad, as the flavors only get better the longer it sits.

I'm not usually a fan of endive, but this salad converted me. The bitterness of the endive was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the pecans and the tanginess of the blue cheese.

This salad was a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. The combination of spinach, endive, pecans, and blue cheese was divine. The dressing was light and tangy, perfectly complementing the ingredients.
