This is a quick and easy endive salad recipe, chopped endive tossed with chopped pears, walnuts, and crumbled gorgonzola, and drizzled with oil and vinegar. Perfect for the fall! If you don’t have access to endive, feel free to substitute butter lettuce. Some of the other lettuces in the chicory family would work as well—curly endive, escarole, frisee, radicchio. By the way, my French friends in the area insist that the endive we grow here in Northern California is less bitter, and more exquisite than what you find in Europe. So enjoy! Go to endive.com for the story, the man from Sacramento, and the farm behind California-grown endive. Season to taste with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
