Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1/4 cup walnuts
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 Belgian endives
1 Granny Smith apple
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 1 ounce)
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Step 2

    In a shallow baking pan toast walnuts in middle of oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes, and cool. Chop walnuts.

    Step 3

    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.

    Step 4

    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.

  2. Step 5

    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.
