Directions
Chicory-Endive Roquefort and Walnut Salad, We often eat this simple salad for lunch, only accompanied by crusty French baguette and a glass of wine! Feel free to substitute the Roquefort for a blue cheese that is readily available where you live; it is also superb with Stilton & Shropshire Blue cheese I have served this as a dinner party starter & also in place of a just cheese course as well! If you cannot obtain walnut oil, any other nut oil will be fine, or a good olive oil This recipe serves 6 people for a light luncheon or 8-10 people as a dinner party starter , To pump in some color for the picture of the salad I took, I added edible flowers and purple cauliflower primarily because I couldn’t find purple-red hued endive, only the standard green Local Oregon produce was used in this salad-almost exclusively except for the walnuts and endive from Cali The bleu cheese was from Oregon’s Rogue Creamery: award winning ‘Crater Lake Bleu’ Delicious combination of flavors I especially like the walnut oil in the dressing I chopped rather than separated the endive leaves and added baby spinach and mixed greens to balance the peppery bite of endive Made for Father’s Day Thank for posting the recipe cg 😉
