Steps:
- Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
- In a small saucepan set on the grill, melt the butter with the clove of smashed garlic. Remove the garlic.
- Place the torn baguette in a mixing bowl and pour the melted garlic butter over the top. Toss to coat the bread and season with salt and pepper. Put the croutons in a cast-iron pan and place on the grill. Cover the grill and bake until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a mason jar, add the lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, anchovies, Dijon and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and vigorously shake to combine.
- Remove the croutons from the grill and set aside. Brush the kale leaves and the cut side of the endive and escarole with some of the lemon vinaigrette. Place on the grill, cut-side down, and char for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the grill, slice into bite-sized pieces and put in a large serving bowl. Add the croutons and chives and dress with the remainder of the vinaigrette. Add Parmesan and toss to combine. Serve.
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.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the freshest endive and escarole you can find. Look for leaves that are crisp and brightly colored.
- Wash the endive and escarole thoroughly. Be sure to remove any dirt or grit.
- Dry the endive and escarole thoroughly. This will help the dressing to adhere to the leaves.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the endive and escarole. This will help to prevent the leaves from tearing.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Toss the salad gently. This will help to prevent the leaves from becoming bruised.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will help to ensure that the leaves are crisp and fresh.
