Ingredients

• 3 heads Belgian endives
• 2 Ruby red grapefruit
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Belgian endives under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel and cut off the root ends. Separate the leaves and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruits by cutting off the top and bottom, then slicing away the peel and white pith. Carefully segment the grapefruit by cutting between the membranes. Remove any seeds and set the segments aside in a bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 4

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the endive leaves and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add the grapefruit segments on top of the endive, distributing them evenly.

Step 6

Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, tangy salad as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
