Belgian Endive Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

This is a super delicious but simple salad.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large heads Belgian endive

Salad Dressing

  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup creme fraiche or plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and Black Pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tsp lemon zest for garnish
  • 1 tbsp blue cheese or feta cheese for garnish
  • 1 tbsp chopped walnuts for garnish
  • 1 tsp chopped chives
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley

Instructions
 

Salad Dressing

  • In a food processor, mix cheese, creme fraiche (yogurt), milk. Pulse the dressing taking care not to over mix. You want the dressing to have some chunks or texture.

Assemble the Salad

  • On individual plates arrange the endive leaves in a pinwheel or spoke pattern. The flat side of the endive leaf should be placed in the middle with the points facing out.
  • Spoon the dressing in to the centre of the plates. Drizzle a little around the leaves.
  • Garnish the salad in the middle with blue cheese, walnuts, chives, parsley, lemon zest.

Notes

Note:  The salad dressing can keep in a jar in the refrigerator for a week or so.
I often serve this as an appetizer because it is easy to eat with your hands.
Enjoy.
