Crisp Belgian endive is lightly dressed with balsamic and finished with pungent Roquefort to make this classic Endive Salad with Roquefort. It is great as a simple salad course or even a light dinner when doubled up.
One of our favorite salads is the simplest one to make 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 warm loaf of bread for a light dinner or alongside a roasted piece of meat for a bigger meal.

Endive is one of my favorite winter vegetables. I like to chop the endive and add apples to a similar salad.
