Ingredients

Endive (2 heads, leaves separated)
Blue cheese (4 ounces, crumbled)
Walnuts (1/2 cup, roughly chopped)
Dried cranberries (1/2 cup)
Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced)
Extra virgin olive oil (1/4 cup)
Balsamic vinegar (2 tablespoons)
Honey (1 tablespoon)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Begin by preparing the salad ingredients. Separate the leaves of the endive and place them in a large salad bowl.
Add the crumbled blue cheese, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, and thinly sliced red onion over the endive leaves.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients without bruising the endive leaves.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, and enjoy the delightful contrasts of flavors and textures.
