A couple of years ago while strolling through Florence we stopped at a lovely sidewalk cafe for lunch. The feature on the menu was an Endive/pear salad. It was fresh, cool and delicious and perfect for a very warm Tuscan day. 

Ever since I have planned to replicate that salad at home. Procrastination seems to have been involved as more than two years later the salad has not appeared. Until today. A very warm day in FRENCH CREEK. 

The salad includes Belgiun Endive, Fresh Bartlett Pears, Fresh Burrata Cheese, chopped walnuts and a vinaigrette dressing. 

It turned out very well and was probably as good as the one in Florence. Perfect for a warm day. We enjoyed it on Sheila’s patio overlooking the 13th fairway at Morningstar. We paired it with an inexpensive French Rose which is quite delicious. 

Thinking of a cool salad. Try this. 

Just saying…
