This is basically a clean-out-fridge salad. So depending on what whatsoever greens or leftover in the fridge, you can mix and match so many different ingredients to make delicious and light meals.

DressingSalad
  • 50 g Plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Walnut oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 2/3 tbsp Red wine vinegar

  • 2 head Belgian endive
  • 2 Oranges, peeled and sectioned
  • 1/2 Avocado, peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 10 Black olives, cut into rings
  • 5 Grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 Small red onion, cut into thin strips
  1. Whisk together plain yogurt, walnut oil, mustard, honey, and red wine vinegar until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready for use.
  2. Cut the ends off endives, separating leaves. Arrange Belgian endive, orange sections and avocado slices in a serving bowl. Scatter with the olive rings, grape tomato halves, and onion strips. Drizzle the dressing over and serve with some bread.

Such a lovely presentation, Angie. And I love the walnut oil in the dressing. Endive is a favorite of mine; I use it in nearly every salad I make.

Hi Angie - hope you had a lovely Christmas and are gearing up for a fabulous New Year!

I know this is a "clean the fridge out" recipe, but, as I have both oranges and avocados at the moment, I'm going to take this as a sign ;)

Happy New Year dear!!!

Whoa! This looks so pretty-there's nothing like a good salad too. So fresh and so clean (smile) clean...
I do always wonder about salads that have orange and olive in them-it seems strange to me, but some of the things I thought were strange at one time are some of my favorites now. Hmm...

What a beautiful salad, Angie! What I love about you is the wide range of culinary expertise you have. You are the master of all things bread - and yet, when you do a salad - it is with a special nut oil - and well thought out. Nothing ordinary, at all. Continually a complex flavour party here! Your family is so fortunate!
Happy New Year to you and your family! I cannot wait to hear how you bring it in!

Avocado and oranges, two of my favorite ingredients combined in a beautiful salad. I would have to have this whole bowl to myself :)

Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year!

Elisabeth 30/12/10 02:58

Endive salads are so pretty, and add so much flair to any salads, but yours is a "work of art" that it's so pretty, yet so yummy, at the same time.
I've done many different designs with the endive, but never did one like yours.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, ANGIE!
Hugs!
