Belgian Endive Salad
1 Large Belgian Endive (shaped like a rocket, white & pale green)
2 oz Blue cheese
2 oz butter, softened
Colorful salad dressing like sun-dried tomato vinaigrette
Cut end off endive and carefully separate the leaves. You will have to keep slicing off the end. Mash together the butter and blue cheese until it’s a spreadable paste. Spread each leave completely with the paste. Reassemble the endive starting with the smallest leaves. Press them firmly together until endive is back to it’s original shape. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill for at least an hour.
To serve, slice endive and place 2 or 3 pinwheels on a plate that has a thin puddle of dressing. You can also add a slice of cherry tomato to the center of the 3 pinwheels to make it look like a flower!
