Put salted water in a pot and bring it to a boil.
When it boils, put the endive in and cook it for only 4 minutes, meanwhile prepare a bowl with cold water and ice.
After the time has passed, drain it and …
Quickly cool it in cold water with ice. This will stop the cooking, keep the bright green color, and remove some bitterness.
As soon as it cools, squeeze it and cut it into pieces.
Wash the parsley and chop it, peel the garlic and chop it too, and cut the tomatoes into pieces.
Now put the chopped and squeezed endive in a bowl, the eggs, salt and pepper to your taste, and the grated Grana Padano.
