Roasted Onion Endive And Orange Salad Recipes

ENDIVE, ORANGE AND ROQUEFORT SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Cut the heads of endive in half lengthwise, remove the triangle of core at the base of each half so the leaves separate, and cut the leaves in half again lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. Drizzle the leaves with the vinaigrette and add the walnuts, Roquefort, and apple. Add the arugula and toss. Zest the orange into the salad with a strip zester. Peel the orange and remove the white pith around the orange with a small sharp knife. Cut the orange sections between the membranes and toss them on the salad. Discard the membranes. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

ROASTED ONION, ENDIVE AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• You can omit the step of roasting the onion, but roasting brings out a sweetness that complements the orange and contrasts with the watercress and endive. Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃) (200C). Cut onion in half and slice each half into 4 wedges. Separate wedges into individual pieces. In a bowl, toss onions with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Place on cookie sheet, bake for 20 minutes or until onion wedges are browned. Reserve. Clean stalks from watercress and toss leaves with onions. Slice Belgian endives into ½-inch slices and add to bowl. Wash and stem spinach. Dry well and tear into bite-sized pieces. Cut skin and white pith from oranges. Over a bowl, cut oranges into segments, reserving the juice that escapes. To make dressing, combine lemon juice with reserved orange juice, add Dijon mustard and wine vinegar, then whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss lemon vinaigrette with onions, orange and vegetables.

WATERCRESS, ENDIVE AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off and discard the stems of the watercress and the endives. Cut the endives into 2-inch lengths.
• To make the dressing, put the mustard in a salad bowl. Add the vinegar. Start beating with a wire whisk while adding the oil. Add salt and pepper. Add the chopped onion. Blend well.
• Add the watercress, endive, orange slices and parsley and toss well. Serve.
