Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 heads Endives
- 1 medium-sized Apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 75 grams Stilton cheese
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Trim the bases of the endives and separate the leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces if desired and set them aside in a large salad bowl.
Core the apple and slice it into thin wedges or matchsticks. Toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into small chunks and add them to the salad bowl along with the endive leaves, apple slices, and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the honey-mustard vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
