Simple endive salad with cheese
Description
Simple endive salad with cheese features sliced Belgian endives, rinsed and dried to remove bitterness and dirt, combined with cubes of aged cheeses such as gruyere, emmental, or manchego. Fresh chopped parsley adds herbal brightness. The salad is dressed in a vinaigrette of equal parts olive oil and red wine vinegar, seasoned with salt and black pepper, which provides an acidic balance to the endive's slight bitterness and the cheese's richness.
The salad offers a crisp yet tender texture from the endives, creamy and mildly salty cheese, and a bright vinaigrette. It's quickly tossed together and served immediately to retain the freshness of ingredients and the crisp texture of the endive leaves.
Ingredients
- 5 to 6 endive washed
- aged cheese gruyere, emmental, manchego - cut into small cubes, ~3 ounces, like comte
