ENDIVE SALAD WITH CANDIED WALNUTS, ORANGE CARAMEL DRESSING AND BLUE CHEESE



Endive Salad with Candied Walnuts, Orange Caramel Dressing and Blue Cheese image

You can use a lot of oranges for this recipe: Minneolas, tangerines, navels. You can also use tangerines if you prefer - whatever looks best at the supermarket. This is fun because you candy the nuts and clean the caramel off the pan by using it to make a tasty dressing. The sweetness is so good with the walnuts and bitter greens. Use endive, chicory, escarole, radicchio or whatever other bitter greens are good. Want to be dairy-free? Simply omit the blue cheese.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup walnut halves
Kosher salt or flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 large oranges, 1 juiced (about 1/4 cup) and 1 peeled and supremed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large yellow endives, leaves separated
1 small head radicchio, leaves separated
3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
10 to 12 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, stemmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange the walnuts on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, really toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Spray a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a large saute pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a light amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts in a single layer over the caramel. Spray a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and stir the nuts, quickly but carefully, to coat with the caramel. Transfer the nuts from the pan onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling the nuts so they separate as they land on the parchment. Season with salt.
  • To the pan with the residual caramel, add the vinegar and orange juice. Warm the pan, whisking until the caramel, vinegar and orange juice are well combined. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the mustard and oil. Adjust the seasoning.
  • Arrange the endive and radicchio leaves in a single layer on a family-style large platter. Intersperse the orange segments and walnuts with the endive and radicchio. Season with salt to taste. Drizzle with all of the dressing. Top with the blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD



Endive, Apple and Walnut Salad image

This classic French combination makes a great autumn and winter salad. Walnuts and apples are always a good mix, and their flavors contrast nicely with the bitter endive. Gruyère cheese has a nutty flavor and adds a bit of protein, as well.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound (about 6) Belgian endives
1 tart apple
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Scant 1/2 cup broken walnut pieces
1 1/2 ounces Gruyère cheese, cut in thin slivers about 1/3 heaped cup
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a mix of chopped fresh parsley and chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons walnut oil
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Remove any damaged outer leaves of the endives and rinse with cold water. Dry with paper towels, then separate the leaves, or slice crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in a wide salad bowl. Add the walnuts, gruyère, parsley and tarragon.
  • Quarter the apple and cut away the core, then slice very thin (you should have at least 16 slices). Place in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  • Whisk together the vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oils. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Drain the apple slices, dry on paper towels, then add to the salad bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right endives: Look for endives that are firm and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Toast the walnuts and breadcrumbs separately: This will help them to develop a more intense flavor and add a nice crunchy texture to the salad.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: The endives have a delicate flavor, so you don't want to overpower them with too much dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The endives will start to wilt if they sit for too long, so it's best to enjoy the salad as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:

This endive salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this unique vegetable. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish. The combination of endives, walnuts, breadcrumbs, and dressing is simply irresistible, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
