Ingredients
For the salad
- 1 cup walnuts
- One (5-oz) Corella, Williams or Bartlett pear
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 Belgian endive (yellow or red variety) leaves separated
- 1/4 head frisée torn into pieces
- 7 ounces Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or other blue cheese
For the vinaigrette
- 1 medium garlic clove crushed and peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
Make the salad
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Keep careful watch as the walnuts go from not quite done to scorched quite quickly. Transfer the walnuts to a plate to cool.
- Thinly slice the pear and toss it with the lemon juice in a salad bowl. Add the walnuts, endive, and frisée. Crumble the blue cheese over the top.
Make the vinaigrette
- Using the back of a chef’s knife, mash the garlic and coarse salt into a paste. (You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.) Add the garlic paste, mustard, and lemon juice to a bowl and whisk until combined. Whisk in the olive oil in a thin stream until the dressing thickens and emulsifies.
Assemble the salad
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately.
