Endive Salad With Blue Cheese Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Puree 1/3 cup blue cheese, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt and 3 tablespoons milk in a blender. Stir in some chopped chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Slice 4 heads endive lengthwise; toss with the dressing. Top with toasted walnuts, dried cranberries and more blue cheese and chives.

Steps:

• Whisk together garlic and yogurt in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper and whisk together. Add blue cheese or Roquefort and Dijon mustard and whisk together until mixture is fairly smooth, with a few lumps of cheese.
• Trim away the very end of the endives and cut lengthwise into quarters. Arrange on a platter or on individual plates and spoon on dressing. Top with chives and finely diced apple, and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together butter, blue cheese and shallot, and set aside.
• Season steaks well with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
• Meanwhile, assemble your salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the endive leaves, radishes and fennel. In a small bowl, whisk together the white-wine vinegar, orange zest, olive oil, parsley leaves, chives and tarragon, season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canola oil. When it shimmers, add the hanger steak and let it cook, undisturbed, until it begins to crisp and brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and finish cooking about 3 minutes more or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 130 degrees for medium-rare.
• Move the steak to a cutting board, and spread with 2 tablespoons or so of the blue cheese butter and let rest 5 to 7 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain and finish with flaky salt, if desired. Plate the steak and serve with the salad alongside, spooning the dressing on top of the salad.

Steps:

• Combine the endive, apples, blue cheese, onions, walnuts and tarragon in a medium mixing bowl. Add the Soy-Sherry Vinaigrette (use as much or as little as desired) and season with salt and pepper.
• Puree the sherry vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, shallots and egg yolk in a blender. With the motor running, emulsify the oil into the mixture. Season with black pepper (the salt from the soy will be enough to season the vinaigrette).

Steps:

• Arrange endive leaves on a serving platter. Top with candied nuts and blue cheese. In a small bowl or jar, combine vinegar, oil and mustard. Whisk or shake jar to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Drizzle mixture over salad and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the walnuts on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, really toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Spray a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a large saute pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a light amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts in a single layer over the caramel. Spray a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and stir the nuts, quickly but carefully, to coat with the caramel. Transfer the nuts from the pan onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling the nuts so they separate as they land on the parchment. Season with salt.
• To the pan with the residual caramel, add the vinegar and orange juice. Warm the pan, whisking until the caramel, vinegar and orange juice are well combined. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the mustard and oil. Adjust the seasoning.
• Arrange the endive and radicchio leaves in a single layer on a family-style large platter. Intersperse the orange segments and walnuts with the endive and radicchio. Season with salt to taste. Drizzle with all of the dressing. Top with the blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, tomatoes, onion, olives and croutons. Serve with dressing.

• Dressing and Assembly
• Whisk apple juice, vinegar, lemon juice, oil, and 1/4 tsp. lemon zest in a small bowl; season dressing with salt.
• Toss endive in a large bowl with half of dressing; season with salt.
