How to Make Belgian Endive Blue Cheese And Pear Salad

1. Core and thinly slice 1 ripe but firm pear. Immediately toss with 1 teaspoon lemon juice to prevent browning.
2. In a large bowl, gently toss 1 large head of Belgian endive (about 4 cups), loosely chopped, with 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Pour dressing over the endive and blue cheese mixture and gently toss to combine.
5. Arrange pear slices artfully around the edges of a serving platter or individual salad plates. Mound the endive and blue cheese salad in the center.
6. Finish with a generous grind of freshly ground black pepper.
