Endive, Apple and Blueberry Salad

Ensalada de endibias, manzana y arándanos

This salad is a perfect balancing act between the elegant bitterness of endive, the lively tartness of green apple, and the antioxidant sweetness of blueberries. It is a light, cleansing dish that is also very visually appealing. To season the leaves and enhance the freshness of the fruit without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Technical Sheet

  • Estimated time: 15 minutes

  • Difficulty:

  • Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 3 fresh endives

  • 1 green apple (Granny Smith type)

  • 50g fresh blueberries (or dried)

  • 30g shelled walnuts

  • For the vinaigrette: 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, the juice of half a lime.

  • Seasoning: Bonsalt 0% and white pepper.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Preparing the endives: Remove the outer leaves of the endives if they are damaged. Cut off the base and separate the leaves. You can leave them whole in the shape of a "boat" for a gourmet presentation, or cut them into thick julienne.

  2. Preparing the apple: Wash the apple and cut it into thin sticks or slices. There is no need to peel it, as the skin adds color and fiber. Immediately drizzle it with a little lime juice to prevent it from oxidizing.

  3. Cleaning the fruit: Wash the fresh blueberries and pat them dry carefully. If using dried blueberries, you can rehydrate them in a little warm water for 5 minutes to restore their juiciness.

  4. Making the dressing: In a small bowl, emulsify the olive oil, cider vinegar, and a pinch of Bonsalt 0%. The absence of sodium allows the citrus flavor of the apple and lime to stand out much more.

  5. Assembly: Arrange the endive leaves on a flat serving dish. Top with the apple sticks, blueberries, and chopped walnuts.

  6. Final touch: Drizzle with the vinaigrette just before serving and add a touch of freshly ground white pepper.
