This may sound strange, but fall is all about salads for me, especially arugula salads. I love coming up with salads that look they belong on a harvest table, surrounded by friends and family. As the summer produce is on it's way out, greens are on their way in. This endive + arugula salad combination is one of my favorites. The flavor is earthy (perfect for fall) and it's the color that always gets me. I'm partial to the red endives to contrast the green arugula but you can always use whichever endive you can find. This salad would also be delicious with sweet potatoes in place of the red potatoes (but I'm partial the mellow flavor of the red potatoes.)

I hate arugula. But you make me want this salad soooo much!!!! (except for gorgonzola to be honest 😛 )
gorgeous salad. Oh and the Gorgonzola is such a great touch. I love all the greens in season right now. What a great use of some less utilized greens! Thanks for sharing
Arugula salads are usually boring, but yours definitely isn't! The potato, endive, and cheese sound like an awesome combination.
I have a habit of adding arugula to everything, so this salad looks incredible to me! Love the paprika potatoes.
I love the combination of the roasted potatoes, the gorgonzola, and the almonds, as well as the peppery arugula and endives! Lots of yum here 🙂
I think you've really captured the spirit of fall salads with this one, without succumbing to the pressure to put something orange in it. Great work! Though I have to admit my eye was first immediately drawn to those beautiful salad forks...
I'm right there with you - I love the tangy cheeses and earthy winter squash and bright pomegranate arils that grace fall salads. The sturdier greens and more robust dressings. Roasted potatoes in salad?! Genius. I adore them in a Niçoise but rarely throw them into other salads. That's about to change!
I agree - I love "earthy" fall salads. This combo is exactly what I like to chomp into.
I love fall salads, too! Love the colours and textures in this salad, and I'm such a huge fan of smoked paprika!
One of my favorite things to make for dinner during the fall/winter months are big salads loaded with root vegetables and a little protein (egg, fish) and dress it with a light vinaigrette. Can't wait to give your beautiful version with endive and arugula a try!
The simplicity of this fall salad is making me excited to pick up some endives at the market! It sounds simply delicious.
Love this combination!
I love fall salads, and endive is one of our favorite! cannot wait to make this
One of these cheap meals I just love. simple healthy ingredients combined together and well enough feeding
A success thanks
Made this last night, so so good. Had to use walnuts instead of pecans and Blue instead of Gorgonzola. Spice on potatoes and the dressing are what make the salad!
I adore this salad. We use whole wheat Israeli couscous instead of quinoa, and sometimes just make the potatoes by themselves as a side dish.
This salad is divine, thank you for the recipe!! I have had a head of radicchio from my CSA in my fridge for like a month now and haven't found any recipes that excite me to use it (yes, I realize this recipe does not call for radicchio) until I saw this salad! I (clearly) subbed radicchio for the endives, subbed avocado for the cheese (cuz I'm vegan and plus, avocado is delicious), and used yellow wax potatoes cuz that's what I had. I also did not boil the potatoes, I just sliced them about 1/4" thick and roasted for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
So, so good. I just devoured half the salad for dinner. Thanks so much Erin!
