Ingredients

2 endives (chicory)
100 g walnuts
100 g blue cheese (soft)
3-4 tablespoon date syrup
2 tablespoon sunflower seeds (optional, toasted)

Instructions

Wash the endives and shake off the water.
Remove each leaf and place on a serving plate.
On each leaf place two pieces of walnut and two crumbs of cheese.
When finished all to arrange, drizzle carefully the dates syrup making sure each leaf gets a fair share.
Optionally finish off with a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds.
It's as simple as this. No fuss. ??

Notes

I normally use either a beautiful creamy blue cheese or a Stilton. Use any good quality blue cheese.

Most of the time I do toast the walnuts for that extra taste and flavour but raw ones will do beautifully. Try both and see which one you prefer better.

If you don’t happen to have dates syrup you can equally use a good old honey, maple or agave syrup as well as coconut nectar. A homemade runny fruit jam would suffice too!

Endives... oh... lovely, healthy and yummy in my tummy ;-))
