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.

Mmmmmm.. love avocado oil in this recipe. And the counter balance of flavors from sweet to sour and bitterness of radicchio :)

Very pretty salad! The colors and flavor combination sound wonderful.

[Reply]
Eva kitcheninspirations.wordpress.com 29/2/12 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!).

nancy at good food matters 29/2/12 19:52

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!

Honestly, salads don't usually make me swoon, but every time I come here, the salads make me dream of them and want to jump right in and take a bit. They are so inviting and very different every time. What's balsamic cream? Intrigued.

The colors in that salad are just breath taking. I just discovered how fun blood oranges are this year. The red is such an unexpected color when you peel the rind off the orange!

This looks lovely. I have never heard of balsamic cream before?

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 3/3/12 20:22

@James Brewer It's thick syrup kind of balsamic...which you can use for the desserts.

[Reply]
Quay Po Cooks 4/3/12 02:29

Oh I LOVE endive and never fail to buy when I see them in the local supermarket. This salad sounds SO good. When you say Balsamic cream, is it the same as Balsamic glaze?

[Reply]
Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bake 4/3/12 04:07

Such a stunning salad! I've loving the addition of blood oranges...I must add them to my shopping list :)

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 4/3/12 06:57

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

[Reply]
tigerfish 5/3/12 02:46

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