Red And Green Endive And Walnut Salad Recipes

RED-AND-GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Boil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the juice of 1 lemon in a saucepan until thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 2/3 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Combine torn frisee, romaine lettuce and red endive in a large bowl. Add sliced red onion, scallions, parsley and candied walnuts. Toss with the dressing.

RED AND GREEN ENDIVE AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, the sugar, the shallot, the vinegar, and salt to taste, add the oils in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Line a large salad bowl with some of the endive leaves, cut the remaining endives crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, and add them to the bowl with the walnuts. Just before serving, drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss it to combine it well.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Remove any damaged outer leaves of the endives and rinse with cold water. Dry with paper towels, then separate the leaves, or slice crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in a wide salad bowl. Add the walnuts, gruyère, parsley and tarragon.
• Quarter the apple and cut away the core, then slice very thin (you should have at least 16 slices). Place in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
• Whisk together the vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oils. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Drain the apple slices, dry on paper towels, then add to the salad bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

GREEN BEANS AND ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off the ends of the green beans. Cut them into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Drop them into boiling salted water and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook. They must remain crisp and tender. Drain well and cool.
• Trim off the ends of the endives and cut the heads into bite-sized pieces. Rinse them in cold water and drain or spin dry.
• Place the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a salad bowl. Using a wire whisk, blend well. Beat in the oil slowly while mixing. Add the green beans, endive, onion and parsley; toss well and serve.

ENDIVE, BLUE CHEESE, AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Cut off the bottoms and very tops of the endive heads. Separate into individual leaves, and julienne the leaves into sticks. Rinse thoroughly.
• Place the endive into a salad bowl along with the walnuts and parsley. Toss together.
• Whisk all the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and toss together.
• Scatter the blue cheese on top.
• Enjoy!
