Belgian Endive, Radicchio, and Blood Orange Salad

A simple, fresh tossed salad with Belgian endive, radicchio, and blood oranges dressed with avocado oil and Balsamic cream. Gorgonzola can be added to the salad to balance bitter radicchio and give contrast to the sweetness of blood oranges.

  • 1 head Belgian endive
  • 1/2 head Radicchio
  • 2 Blood oranges or valencia
  • Butter lettuce (optional)
  • 50 g Gorgonzola (optional)
  • 1 small handful Parsley leaves
  • Balsamic cream
  • Avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Cut the Belgian endives into bite-size pieces, or cut lengthwise into 8 wedges, discarding the hard inner core. Tear the radicchio, butter lettuce if used, into bite-size pieces too. Cut all peel and white pith from oranges. Cut between membranes of oranges to release the segments into a bowl.
  2. Toss all the prepared vegetables with diced Gorgonzola, if used, in a large serving dish. Arrange orange segments over. Garnish with the chopped parsley leaves. Drizzle the salad with balsamic cream and avocado oil. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.

  33. Eva kitcheninspirations.wordpress.com29/2/12 18:26

    Sound delicious Angie. I'm sure the creaminess of the Gorgonzola and the sweetness of the balsamic cream really offset the bitterness of the raddichio (which is normally not a favourite of mine, but I think I would like it in this recipe!).

    the colors alone in this salad would lift you up on a dreary winter day--but all those elements taste delicious together--bitter and sweet and salty and unctuous. and healthy too!

    @Quay Po CooksYes, it's called cream or syrup here. And glaze sounds exactly the right one for a balsamic reduction.

  87. tigerfish5/3/12 02:46

    I agree. I think the acid in the blood orange also helps to cut through the bitterness of the veg.
