Endive Salad With Parmesan Cheese And Cheese Dressing

When I used to live in Abu Dhabi, three friends and I would arrange a Scrabble night once a week . We had decided that the host would only make a salad to avoid adding any extra work and also for us to eat less. Since we used to rotate who would host, it quietly became a competition who would make the most delicious salad, each one of us trying to outdo the other. It was a fun time. Tonight, I remembered those days while playing Words With Friends with my daughter and decided to make one of my more flavorful salads made with endives, parmesan cheese and dressing made out of cheese also.

Ingredients:

• 3 endives
• 3 cucumbers
• 2 tomatoes
• few leaves of iceberg or lettuce
• 1 grated carrot
• few leaves of parsley for decoration
• 100 grams sliced parmesan cheese

For the dressing:

• 100 grams cream cheese
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• dash of black pepper

Preparation:

• Wash all the vegetables, pluck the endives leaves and spread them out in a serving plate
• In the center place the iceberg leaves
• Slice the tomatoes an cucumber and put them over the iceberg
• Top it off with the slices of cheese, the grated carrot and the leaves of parsley
• Mix well all the dressing ingredients; adjust the seasoning as you like and keep it in a saucer on the side
• Invite some friends over and play Scrabble 🙂

ET VOILA..C’EST TOUT. BON APPETIT 🙂
