Ingredients

4 servings

For the salad

3 heads belgian endive (about 12 oz total)
1 ripe bosc or anjou pear, cored and thinly sliced
3 oz roquefort cheese or gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1/4 cup of roquefort cheese is low in lactose. This recipe contains only about 2 2/3 tablespoons per serving, making it likely fine on a lactose free diet. If you prefer to always avoid roquefort cheese, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Trim the base of each endive head and separate the leaves. Cut any very large outer leaves in half crosswise; leave smaller inner leaves whole. Place in a large salad bowl.
