CURLY ENDIVE SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING, EGG AND GRUYèRE



Curly Endive Salad With Mustard Dressing, Egg and Gruyère image

This wintry salad uses the pale center leaves of the curly endive - save the outer leaves for another use, like adding to a soup - but you could also combine them with Belgian endive and Chioggia, Treviso or speckled Castelfranco radicchio. As for the eggs, which add heft, cook them as you prefer, with a runny, gooey or moist yolk.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs, at room temperature
Ice water
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, grated or mashed to a paste
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 large handfuls tender, pale curly endive (from the center of 2 medium heads), washed and dried
About 2 ounces Gruyère

Steps:

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add eggs (the water should cover them), and return to a boil. Adjust heat so that the water is at a brisk simmer. For a runny yolk, cook for 7 minutes; for a gooey center, cook for 8 minutes; for a slightly moist center, cook for 9 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath.
  • Immediately drain eggs and plunge into ice water to cool. When cool, crack and peel eggs. (Eggs can be cooked and peeled up to several hours in advance, and refrigerated.) Roughly chop eggs into haphazard slices.
  • Put vinegar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk with a fork to dissolve. Slowly whisk in olive oil to make a slightly thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Put endive in a low, wide salad bowl and sprinkle very lightly with salt. Add dressing to taste and toss well. Transfer greens to individual plates. Top with chopped egg. With a vegetable peeler, shave thin slices of Gruyère over each salad.

Aged pecorino Toscano cheese is fairly hard; young pecorino Toscano is softer and milder. You can use good-quality provolone cheese instead, if you like.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH WATERCRESS, WALNUTS AND GRUYèRE



Roasted Cauliflower Salad With Watercress, Walnuts and Gruyère image

You can make this kind of salad with almost any vegetable that won't wilt or burn when subjected to a copious slick of oil and a blast of high heat. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, beets, parsnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash and rutabagas all work well. One of the best vegetables for this salad, though, is cauliflower. The florets turn juicy and tender in the center while crisping and browning around the edges, and cauliflower's mild flavor is amenable enough to pair nicely with almost anything else you toss in the bowl.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Tips:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Use crisp Treviso radicchio, crunchy walnuts, and flavorful Gruyère cheese for the best results.
  • Prepare the radicchio properly: Trim the root end and cut the radicchio into thin strips. Rinse the radicchio thoroughly and pat it dry to remove any excess water.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the salad. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing should complement the flavors of the salad without overpowering them. Use just enough dressing to lightly coat the ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Treviso salad is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it immediately after assembling to prevent the radicchio from wilting.

Conclusion:

Treviso, walnut, and Gruyère salad is a delicious and elegant salad that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of bitter radicchio, crunchy walnuts, and creamy Gruyère cheese, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
