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
2 tsp whole-grain mustard 10 g
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1/3 cup hazelnuts, shelled [optional] 40 g
1/4 cup dried cranberries [optional] 30 g

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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

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.

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.
