The endives can be bitter, especially if eaten raw with no spices or dressing. I have discovered a great dressing that is both sweet and creamy that helps to transform that slight bitterness of endives into crunchy, healthy and delicious salad.
Here is how I prepare it!
Endives with mustard dressing
Preparation time: 5-10 min
Difficulty: very easy
Ingredients
- 1-2 endives
- cheese – cheddar, comte or even blue cheese
- avocado
- walnuts
for the dressing
- 1 tsp of mustard
- 1 tsp of sugar/honey/maple syrup (skip this if you want it low carb)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 tbsp of olive oil
Directions
- Prepare the dressing: mix the mustard with the sugar and vinegar, add the oil bit by bit and incorporate. Add salt and pepper
- Cut the bottom of the endive and take the leaves. Do not force them to come undone, but cut a bit more at the base until you get to the heart of it.
- In the tiny endive boats put the cheese, avocado and walnut and sprinkle the dressing.
- Serve next to a mean meal like steak, or for breakfast next to some charcuterie or even with eggs and bacon.
