Best Endive And Grape Salad With Pear Vinaigrette Recipes

ENDIVE, PEAR, AND ROQUEFORT SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off the core end of each head of endive and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut out the cores, separate the leaves, and place 1 1/2 to 2 heads of endive on each plate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Toss the pears with some vinaigrette and place on the endive. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the endive leaves to moisten them. Crumble the Roquefort onto the endive. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve at room temperature.

ENDIVE AND PEAR SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Halve and core pear and thinly slice lengthwise. Cut endives crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide slices and tear chicory into bite-size pieces. In a bowl toss greens with pear and vinaigrette.

ENDIVE AND GRAPE SALAD WITH PEAR VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the pear vinaigrette:.
• Heat the pear juice on stovetop over medium heat to reduce to 1/4 of its original amount, for 40 minutes, until caramelized. Set aside and let cool.
• In a bowl, mix the reduced pear juice, cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Slowly add the canola oil whisking constantly. Season the vinaigrette with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add a little more pear juice or water if the vinaigrette is too thick. Set aside.
• For the salad:.
• In a pan, add the olive oil and toast the pine nuts on medium-high heat. Keep an eye on them because they tend to burn fast.
• Place the endives and grapes in a bowl, add the vinaigrette and mix well. Transfer the salad mixture in the serving bowls and garnish with pears, pine nuts and cheese.
• Cook's Note:.
• Old Cheddar or Gouda can be substituted for the Mimolette.
