This bright and easy salad has got all the elements: bitterness and crunchiness coming from the Belgian endive, sweetness and tanginess from the blood orange, smoothness and creaminess from the goat cheese. Don't be fooled by its simplicity, it is really a burst of flavours and texture.

- Using sharp knife, cut away all peel and white pith from blood oranges. Cut between membranes of oranges to release the segments into a bowl.
- Place endive leaves in two serving plates. Fill each leaf of endive with a teaspoon of creamy goat cheese. Top the goat cheese with 2 blood orange segments.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped thyme or rosemary leaves. Drizzle with a little truffle oil and season with salt and pepper.

What a wonderful and colorful way of saying goodbye to winter! Gorgeous Angie!
I love that the endive is a natural spoon for these beautiful bites Angie. That blood orange sparkles like rubies. I'm certain the bite of the goats cheese goes wonderfully with the tart and sweet blood orange.
Just gorgeous ~ Looks too good to eat :-)
What a beautiful salad it would be on my Easter table. Such a fresh combination of flavors.
Truffle oil and goat cheese - you can't miss with those two ingredients!

These blood oranges look spectacular serving on the endives, making them such a wonderful starter.

A simple salad...I'd say simply delicious!
What a lovely combination for a salad. It looks really refreshing. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
I just love blood oranges, but they're hard to find, except at Whole Foods. The salad is so beautiful and what an elegant starter course. Happy St. Patrick's Day, dear friend, XOXO
Stunning photos! Now I'm dying to buy some blood oranges to try out the recipe.
What a beautiful color in the oranges. You've got sweet, tart, salty and crunchy -- what a great combination!
What a gorgeous salad! I've never had endive before, but I've been wanting to try it. This looks like the perfect thing to make with it. :)
Very pretty salad, Angie. And perfect for a hit of bitter!
Lovely pictures & what a great way of eating endives! Must give this a try soon! ;)
Gorgeous presentation. I would really love to be lunching at your table. :-)
Such a beautiful recipe for Spring!
What a beautiful, light, and refreshing salad! Love the colors.
This looks like the flavours would absolutely pop! Blood oranges are my favourite oranges. They are so beautiful and their flavour is so floral and pretty.
Such a simple, gorgeous appetizer...although I could easily make it my dinner!!! YUM!
This looks beautiful & delicious! Well done!
I have never seen blood oranges sold here before, which I have been eyeing for a long time! Your salad looks so gorgeous and beautiful! Love the striking colour combination!
everything you post looks like it should be in some incredibly expensive cookbook. divine post! love the pics x
Simply fresh and stunning pictures..
Lovely photos! Those blood oranges look perfect my goodness, great recipe.
Masterpiece! My compliments to the chef!
It's blood orange season, that's for sure! I have to buy some! There is something so beautiful yet kinda creepy about them! They make this dish come alive....beautiful colours and flavours!
This looks fabulous! Such a vibrant presentation! And it sounds delectable!
oh my gosh, these are just gorgeous, what a fun appetizer!
You are so creative and smart Angie - I love goat cheese and blood oranges but would have never thought to put them together. This is nothing less than perfect!
I am a big fan of blood oranges so gorging on them now. This is a very elegant way fo serving them up, nice touch with the cheese.
Like this a lot. Just finished my last blood orange, must get some more when I go to the food store.
love this so perfect and beautiful
My goodness, you are popular! This is a perfect spring starter! Have never heard of using truffle oil with this but I love truffle oil. Now all I have to do is locate blood oranges but those are getting easier to find!
I love endive salads and this looks like a delicious one! We've been getting wonderful, sweet Cara Cara oranges here lately that would be great like this.
These look so delicious. I am imagining them with tried tomatoes too (just because I think those blood oranges remind me of them)!
This is so pretty Angie! The perfect way to welcome spring!
Such a pretty, colorful, refreshing, and tasty treat as an appetizer, and even a perfect snack. Love the paring of the blood oranges with the goat cheese!
Lovely and creative salad Angie!
Wow! I can imagine how fresh and tangy this is, lovely photos!
What a beautiful and totally yummy salad!! This is gorgeous too :)
I've been a long time fan of blood orange or any citrus for that matter paired with goat cheese...love the endive "boat!"
What a lovely combination of bitter and sweet!
They look beautiful and so delicious. Great combination of flavors.
Pretty appetizer! I am loving blood oranges at this time of year.
Angie, what a beautiful presentation...and yes, your are ready for Spring!
I love the combination of the endive with the citrus and of course the cheese...YUM!
Have a great week :)
Angie, this looks absolutely beautiful!
i'm in love with this! such wonderful flavors going on here!
Looks beautiful, I love the contrast in the colors. Bet it helps greatly to soften endives sharpness. I never buy endives because of the taste but in this combination, I see how it can go down easy.
Love blood oranges- so fresh and colorful Angie!!
I love how vibrant this salad is - I haven't been able to find any blood oranges this year, but they are beautiful!
I love blood orange and I love goats cheese, sounds amazing, please tell me blood oranges are in season again... I have the perfect cocktail recipe to try out ;)
Oh this looks so beautiful! I have been looking for blood oranges at my local grocery store, and still haven't located any.....makes me sad! I want even just one, they are so yummy! Your recipe sounds wonderful, Hugs, Terra

Lovely styling and colors!! I love pairing goat cheese with citruses :)
What a delicious bite of food! And it's pretty too. :) Those blood oranges are amazing and I bet they are great with the goat cheese.
I am going to drizzle honey and balsamic over this and call it lunch! YUM! Thanks so much for stopping by Savoring Today and saying hello ~ I appreciate that and loved finding your blog too. :)

Oh wow this looks beautiful and yummy!!
