Each bite delivers a crisp and refreshing experience, perfect for a warm day or any time you crave a healthy and flavorful dish.

The endive leaves, with their subtly curved shape, act as natural vessels, holding the salad ingredients securely.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to customize your salad boats to suit your personal preferences. These endive and arugula salad boats are not only delicious but also visually appealing.

Instructions

    1.
    Cook the bacon on high heat in a pan until the strips are very crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a clean, flat surface to let them cool. Then, chop the bacon into small bits.
    2.
    Prepare the salad boats by removing the endive leaves from their base. Rinse and pat dry the leaves if necessary. Arrange the endive leaves on a plate or flat surface; these will serve as the boats."
    3.
    Fill each endive leaf with arugula, chopped walnuts, grated carrot, chopped feta, and the bacon bits. Sprinkle the pepper over everything. Just before serving, evenly drizzle the olive oil and balsamic across the salad boats. Enjoy cold.
