Belgian Endive And Gorgonzola Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Carefully peel the leaves from the head of endive, and place them open-side up on a serving platter. Place one leaf of parsley at the base of each endive leaf and 1 tablespoon of Gorgonzola artfully on top of the parsley.

Steps:

• Arrange endive on a serving platter. In each leaf, layer the tomatoes, green onions, cheese and walnuts. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• Trim, wash and dry endive leaves; arrange on two salad plates.
• In a small bowl, mash cheese with yogurt, brandy and cayenne and mix well.
• Spoon dressing over leaves.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Cut the head of endive in half lengthwise, remove the triangle of core at the base of each half so the leaves separate, and cut the leaves in half again lengthwise. Place in a medium bowl. Drizzle the leaves with the vinaigrette and add the walnuts, Roquefort and apple. Add the arugula and toss. Zest the orange into the salad with a strip zester. Peel the orange and remove the white pith around the orange with a small sharp knife. Cut the orange sections between the membranes and toss them on the salad. Discard the membrane. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until very lightly browned and fragrant, 6 to 10 minutes. (Check the nuts frequently because they can quickly go from perfectly toasted to burnt!) Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• Combine the gorgonzola and heavy cream in a small bowl and use a fork or small whisk to whip the mixture together until smooth. Smear a scant teaspoon of the gorgonzola mixture on the end of each endive leaf, then lightly drizzle with some of the honey. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds and garnish with the mint leaves.

Steps:

• Clean the endive with a dry paper towel and slice off the bottom to separate the leaves. Arrange the leaves around the edge of a large platter. Fill the inside with torn romaine leaves. Cut the pear into thin slices and arrange throughout the platter. Sprinkle the gorgonzola and walnuts on top and season with pepper.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the jam and balsamic vinegar and heat for several seconds until warm. Stir with a small whisk. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.

• Separate 4 outer leaves from each endive and arrange 3 leaves on each of 4 plates. Cut remaining endive crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and put in a large bowl. Peel apple and using a mandoline or other manual slicer cut thin slices lengthwise from 4 sides, stopping just before core. Make small stacks of slices and cut stacks into thin julienne strips.
• Toss sliced endive with dressing and divide among plates, mounding on whole leaves. Top salads with Gorgonzola, walnuts, apple, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle remaining 2 teaspoons honey over salads.
