This is the Contessa at her Barefoot best. The bitterness of the endive, with the sweetness of pear, creamy blue cheese, crunch of nuts and tang of the vinaigrette is just right. I didn't change a thing. It's quick, easy, and the result is an elegant salad worthy of any upscale restaurant. I served it as the first course at a friend's birthday dinner and guests raved.

This was delicious! I didn't serve as a salad, but instead served on individual leaves of the endive as finger food. They were a big hit!

This salad just didn't do it for our family. I think the dressing was a miss...it tasted like olive oil-mayo...and the salad needed a true vingarette. I love most of what Ina makes so this was just a miss cue for us.

Easy to put together, great blend of flavors, textures and colors. Used green and red Belgian Endive for eye appeal. Made a satisfying lunch entre all by itself.

If you drizzle some honey over this, it adds another amazing layer to this yummy salad! One of my favorites!

I served this along with the Herb-Baked Eggs featured in this episode. So easy and so delicious, and they paired very nicely. I followed the recipe exactly, and it came out beautifully, but I'm sure other tender lettuces would lend themselves very well, too.

I too had trouble finding all the ingredients at my market. I had to use another variety of pear, blue cheese, and lettuce (romaine. It was still delicious- although I would not use romaine again but maybe a butter or bib lettuce. I had some of the dressing leftover and plan to use it tomorrow with cabbage for a coleslaw alongside some grilled chicken. I know that will be delicious as well!

What a great way to do the salad. This I served while people were talking and hanging around the kitchen and it was a super hit. WHen I did the mayonaise I thought that it was too olive oil tasting and I use regular cheap salt and it was salty. I crossed my fingers and gave it a try anyway and it was a hit. I did use maytag blue cheese because my palate is not so fond of blue cheeses and rockefort could be really strong. This was worth every bite of it.
