Belgian Endive Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
This is a super delicious but simple salad.
Prep Time 30 minutes mins
- 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
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.
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.
