Ingredients
- 3 heads Endives
- 1 medium-sized Apple (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 75 grams Stilton cheese
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim the bases of the endives and separate the leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces if desired and set them aside in a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Core the apple and slice it into thin wedges or matchsticks. Toss the apple slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl to prevent browning.
Step 3
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 4
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Step 5
Crumble the Stilton cheese into small chunks and add them to the salad bowl along with the endive leaves, apple slices, and toasted walnuts.
Step 6
Drizzle the honey-mustard vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together to coat evenly.
Step 7
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
