The flavors in this salad are very bright and refreshing and nicely balanced with the warmer flavor of the gouda cheese. Be sure to purchase plain gouda and not the smoked variety. Rubbing the bowl with garlic sounds a bit odd but adds just a hint of flavor that subtly warms the whole concoction. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients:
garlic clove |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
salt (to taste) |
pepper (to taste) |
2 heads belgian endive |
1 cup packed mixed baby greens (to taste) |
1 apple, pared and chopped |
100 g gouda cheese, cubed |
Directions:
1. Rub your salad bowl with half a clove of garlic and reserve the garlic.
2. Mix together lemon juice, olive oil, salt + pepper then cut garlic into chunks and add to the dressing and set aside.
3. Wash endive and salad, pat dry or dry in salad spinner. Arrange endive as a crown around the inside of the salad bowl. Place baby lettuce leaves in the middle of the crown. Mix together chopped apple and cubed gouda and place on top of baby greens.
4. Pour dressing over the salad being careful to strain out any of the garlic chunks so that they don’t end up in the salad. Serve immediately.
5. NOTE : if your salad has to sit for a bit, toss the chopped apple with a little lemon juice to keep it from turning brown.
