Ingredients

• 3 heads Endives
• 2 Oranges
• 0.5 cup Walnuts
• 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by prepping the endives: remove any damaged outer leaves, then cut off the root end. Slice the endives lengthwise into quarters, and then chop them crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Place the chopped endives into a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Using a sharp knife, cut between the membranes to release the orange segments. Save any juice that collects and add it to the dressing later.

Step 3

Toast the walnuts: In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and any reserved orange juice until emulsified.

Step 5

Assemble the salad: Add the orange segments and toasted walnuts to the bowl with the endives. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Step 6

Optionally, garnish the salad with chopped parsley or additional walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a crisp and colorful appetizer or side dish.
