Endive and Pear Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 3 red Belgian endive or sub more white endive or radicchio!
- 2 white Belgian endive
- 1 ripe pear of choice thinly sliced
- Crumbled blue cheese
- Crushed maple walnuts see recipe below
- Lemon
- Olive oil
- Flake salt
- Pepper
- Fresh dill
Instructions
- Cut off the bottom core of both endive and separate the leaves. Arrange leaves in a flat manner on a large plate or platter.
- Arrange sliced pears all over.
- Add as much crumbled blue cheese and maple walnuts as desired over the whole salad.
- Dress the salad simply by juicing fresh lemon all over and drizzling with olive oil.
- Season evenly all over with flake salt and pepper. The idea is not to toss the salad and instead evenly dress the entire platter.
- Garnish with fresh dill all over. Yum!

Notes
Maple Walnuts
- ½ cup whole walnuts
- 2 Tbsp maple
- Salt, to taste
- chili, to taste
- Add walnuts and maple to a small pan over medium-low heat. Sprinkle them with salt and chili to taste.
- Cook, stirring, until the maple syrup has reduced, browns slightly, and coats the walnuts, about 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a lined sheet tray and let cool completely. They will be nice and crunchy once fully cooled. You can even toss them into the freezer for quick cooling!
