Ingredients

1	Boston lettuce, or curly leaf	200 g
3	Belgian endive (Witloof), sliced crosswise	460 g
4	oranges, cut into 7-8 mm rounds	700 g
1/3 cup	extra virgin olive oil	85 mL
3 tbsp	lemon juice, freshly squeezed	1 lemon

	ground pepper to taste [optional]
7 tbsp	hazelnuts, shelled [optional]	40 g

Method

Rinse and dry the lettuce and belgian endive. Leave the lettuce leaves whole and arrange them on individual serving plates. Slice the endive crosswise into bite-size pieces and place the pieces over the lettuce leaves.
Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, removing all of the white pith from the flesh. Save any accumulated juices. Cut the oranges into 7-8 mm rounds and arrange them on the individual plates.
In a small bowl, pour in the oil, lemon juice, and reserved orange juice, then add the mustard. Whisk well, using a fork, until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste, then pour the vinaigrette over the individual servings. Add the hazelnuts and dried cranberries (optional). Serve.

butterfly21 2 Belgian Endive and Orange Salad

january 02, 2013

First time I eat endive and I was surprised at how bitter it is alone. But paired with the orange it doesn't taste that bitter. Nice refreshing salad.

Loved the mix of sweet and bitter. I ended up adding about a tsp of honey to the vinaigrette and I added almond slivers instead of the hazelnuts and forwent the cranberries. Next time, I think I will cut the lettuce leaves in half just to make it easier to eat them.

Delicious. Sweet, bitter and tart all at the same time. This salad was perfect with trout filets.
