Great Salad

On a warm summer evening, I think salads for dinner are very refreshing. Last evening I had Grilled Endive Salad.  I think it is a recipe I can make at home.

Here's my recipe for 4 people.

2 cups baby arugula
1 package bacon bits or 4 slices bacon crisply cooked and broken into bits
1/2 c walnuts, broken into large pieces
1/4 c candied pecans
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and finely chopped
1/2 c blue cheese crumbles
4 heads endive
Balsamic vinaigrette

Preheat the grill and clean if necessary.

Divide the arugula, bacon bits, walnuts, candied pecans, Granny Smith apple, and blue cheese evenly among 4 plates.

Cut the endive into quarters and brush with olive oil.  Place them cut side down on a hot grill.  Grill until endive is slightly soft and has nice grill marks. Remove the endive from the grill.  Arrange 4 endive piece atop each salad. Serve immediately along with your favorite balsamic vinaigrette.
