Meet the Wedge Salad 2.0: Endive and Pear Edition

Meet version 2.0 of a Wedge Salad. This version swaps out iceberg lettuce for crisp endive, and juicy pears while still featuring the classic elements of crispy bacon, blue cheese, and tomatoes.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
Serves 4
6 heads of Belgian Endive, quartered
1 ripe pear, finely diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
16 grape tomatoes, halved
6 ounces (170g) Blue Cheese, crumbled
4 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

Vinaigrette:
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon honey
3 ounces (90ml) apple cider vinegar
6 ounces (180ml) extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper

In a bowl, combine the mustard, thyme, garlic powder, vinegar, salt, pepper, and honey. Whisk well to combine. While whisking, add olive oil in a slow, steady stream to emulsify. Taste for seasoning. Note: This can also be done with an immersion blender.

To assemble the salad, arrange 2 pieces of each color of Endive on a plate. Then sprinkle over some of the pear, red onion, blue cheese and bacon. Drizzle 1 – 2 tablespoons of the dressing over the salad. Serve immediately.
