This salad is a knockout, both in looks and taste. Bitter endives are mellowed out by salty feta, sweet honey, and walnuts, which may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and are a good source of alpha-linolenic acid, the omega-3 with heart benefits. The dish is filling enough to be a meal, or try serving the walnuts and feta mixed with dressing in the endive leaves as an appetizer.
