Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 heads chicory endive leaves
- 100 grams roquefort cheese
- 70 grams walnuts
- 1 medium apple (crisp variety such as Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the chicory endive leaves. Slice them lengthwise into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden. Set aside to cool.
Core and thinly slice the apple into wedges. Toss the slices in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and add them to the salad bowl with the endive.
Crumble the roquefort cheese into small pieces and add it to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, remaining lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cooled toasted walnuts on top of the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tangy, creamy, and crunchy delight.
