Endive And Gorgonzola Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk both oils, vinegar and shallot in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Combine endive, arugula, apples, walnuts and Gorgonzola in large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Divide among 6 plates and serve.

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:

• Trim off the core end of each head of endive and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut out the cores, separate the leaves, and place 1 1/2 to 2 heads of endive on each plate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Toss the pears with some vinaigrette and place on the endive. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the endive leaves to moisten them. Crumble the Roquefort onto the endive. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Separate endive leaves and wash well in cold running water. Trim and discard stems, break leaves into bite-sized pieces, and pat dry. Set aside in a bowl.
• Peel and core apples and cut into thin slices. In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients.
• Add apple slices to cream mixture. (The apples can now be reserved in the refrigerator as long as 4 hours.)
• At serving time, pour apple and cream mixture onto endive. Toss well to coat and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Clean the endive with a dry paper towel and remove the core from the bottom to separate the leaves. Arrange the leaves in a circle on a large platter. Fill the inside of the circle with torn pieces of romaine lettuce. Cut the pear into thin slices and arrange throughout. Sprinkle the Gorgonzola and walnuts over the salad and season with pepper.
• In a small microwaveable bowl, combine the jam with the balsamic vinegar. Heat for several seconds until slightly warm and then stir with a small wire whisk until combined. Drizzle over the salad and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a shallow baking pan toast walnuts in middle of oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes, and cool. Chop walnuts.
• In a small bowl whisk together vinegars and 1/2 teaspoon honey and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
• 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.

Steps:

• To make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, juice and honey. Season with salt.
• In a small sauté pan, toast the pecans over medium heat. Allow to cool.
• Mix together the endive, arugula, apple and cherries (or cranberries) in a medium-size bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Top with the pecans and goat cheese (optional).

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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Add endive, apple, Gorgonzola, and hazelnuts; toss gently to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with more Gorgonzola, if desired.

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons vinegar, oil and honey in large bowl to blend. Add endive and pear and toss to coat. Blend sour cream, yogurt and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar in medium bowl; mix in cheese. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Mound pear salad on platter. Top with dressing, then nuts and chives.
