Endive, Pear, and Roquefort Salad
Copyright, 2004, Barefoot in Paris, All Rights Reserved

Ingredients
4 to 6 heads of Belgian endive
1 1/2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 egg yolk*, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons good olive oil
2 ripe Bartlett pears, halved, cored, and sliced
1/4 pound good Roquefort cheese
1/2 cup toasted walnut halves

Trim off the core end of each head of endive and slice
it in half lengthwise. Cut out the cores, separate the leaves, and place 1 1/2 to
2 heads of endive on each plate.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, salt, and pepper.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Toss the pears with some
vinaigrette and place on the endive. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the
endive leaves to moisten them. Crumble the Roquefort onto the endive. Sprinkle
with walnuts and serve at room temperature.
