Endive Salad with Roquefort

Crisp Belgian endive are lightly dressed with Crema di Balsamico and finished with pungent roquefort for a simple salad course or a light dinner.

One of our favorite salads is the simplest to make, it is a Belgian endive salad.  We love how the leaves gently cradle the Creme di Balsamico and pieces of ripe roquefort, it is like a present with every bite.  We love to pair this salad with a crusty and warm loaf of bread for a light dinner or with a roasted piece of meat for a bigger meal.
