    This is such a colorful appetizer. In reality, it's a deconstructed version of a very popular spinach salad, usually served with fruit, dried cranberries and a vinaigrette. Creamy blue cheese, dried cranberries and toasted walnuts top endive, or apple slices. Easy and delicious!

    Ingredients

    • 16 large endive leaves
    • 2 large apples, cored and sliced
    • ½ cup walnut pieces, toasted
    • 1 cup dried cranberries
    • ¾ cup blue cheese , crumbled
    • 2 tablespoons light balsamic vinaigrette

    Directions

    1. 1. Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for two minutes until fragrant. Set aside and cool.
    2. 2. Arrange apple slices on one platter, and endive leaves on other platter.
    3. 3. In a medium bowl combine cooled walnuts, dried cranberries and blue cheese.
    4. 4. Top endive leaves with 1 tablespoon cheese mix and a drop or two of balsamic dressing.
    5. 5. Put remaining cheese, nuts and blue cheese in a bowl to serve with apple slices.

          Thanks Kathy! I've started Happy Hour Fridays on my blog. I decided I needed a break on Fridays, so coming up with appetizers is a ton of fun!
