Ingredients

  • 3 heads Belgian endive ~30 leaves
  • 1 Granny Smith apple diced
  • ½ cup pistachios shelled
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbled
  • Fresh mint leaves chopped, for garnish

For the dressing:

Instructions

  • Gently peel the leaves off of the endive heads. Set them on a platter. You may want to use your knife to carefully shave off some of the back part of each leaf so that they lay flat on the tray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the apples, pistachios, and blue cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, dijon, and minced shallot. Pour the dressing over the other ingredients and mix well.
  • Scoop a spoonful of the filling into each leaf. Garnish with freshly chopped mint. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store Belgian endive in a brown bag or wrapped in a towel in the fridge (it likes the dark). Look for heads that have large leaves that are big enough to stuff.
  • This is best enjoyed shortly after making it, since the leaves can get soggy over time.
  • You can also put all of these ingredients together as a salad. Just chop the endive instead of keeping the leaves whole.
