Belgian Endive and Mandarin Orange Salad

Labels: { Fruit, Salads }

Simple and delicious, this healthy salad features earthy, tangy, and crisp Belgian endives and sour-sweet and full-flavoured mandarins. A small handful of chopped arugula and homemade bread croutons are the perfect accompaniment for adding some extra flavour and crunch to this delightful winter salad, then toss everything with a white wine vinaigrette.

Salad	Dressing
2 head Belgian endive, separated into leaves 2-3 Mandarins Some arugula leaves Bread croutons, optional	15 ml Olive oil 15 ml Macadamia oil 1 tbsp White wine vinegar Pinch of dried thyme Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Cut stem end from Belgian endives. Separate into individual leaves. Peel the mandarins and then slice them crosswise.
Place all the dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake thoroughly until well blended.
Arrange Belgian endive leaves on two plates and top them with the sliced mandarins. Sprinkle chopped arugula leaves and croutons on top and drizzle the dressing over the salad before serving.

StephenC 16/1/13 11:56: It is surprising that endive is not more popular - perhaps because it isn't cheap. But I know exactly what your salad tasted like - excellent.
Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen 16/1/13 12:15: What a lovely winter salad Angie. I like everything about it, including homemade croutons. Homemade croutons are so far superior to the bought ones there is just no comparison.

Unknown 18/1/13 00:09: I had my very first taste of endive salad while I was in San Fran last 2011. Although I still haven't quite acquainted myself with the taste, I know that I won't check it off my list. I love that mandarins are added to give that extra tang and natural sweetness. I found endives to be slightly bitter which bitter & me just don't jive. I am getting there am sure as I grew older, I found myself exploring other flavours. Great recipe!!! ♥ Jo

HB 18/1/13 13:53: Angie, that looks wonderful.

It's so hard to get the right balance when using fruit in savoury dishes and vegetables in sweet.
But a recipe like this neutralises the sweetness so it compliments everything beautifully.

Such a great use of flavours, happy new year!
