Recipe of Grilled Endive Salad

Vida Recetas Editorial

Grilled endive salad is a European recipe that surprises with its balance of flavors: the subtle bitterness of grilled endives is complemented by the freshness of mixed greens, the creaminess of goat cheese, and the crunchy touch of toasted walnuts. This salad is not only easy to prepare, but also a light and nutritious option, ideal as an elegant appetizer or as a main course for a healthy meal.

The secret lies in grilling: by charring the endives, their bitterness is reduced and a smoky flavor is added that enhances the whole. The balsamic vinaigrette with Dijon mustard ties the ingredients together with a tangy and sweet touch at the same time.

This recipe is perfect for those looking for a different salad with contrasting textures and a sophisticated look. You can serve it as a starter at a special dinner or enjoy it as a main dish accompanied by crusty bread. If you like to experiment, try adding pear or apple slices for an extra sweet contrast.
