Ingredients
- 6 cups Curly endive
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Walnuts (toasted)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the curly endive thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin it dry using a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Step 3
Toast the walnuts by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Let them cool slightly.
Step 4
If using cherry tomatoes, wash them and slice them in half.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine the curly endive, toasted walnuts, and cherry tomatoes (if using).
Step 6
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan cheese into thin ribbons and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Curly Endive Salad!
