Belgian Endive Salad with Blood Oranges and Goat Cheese

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com


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.

  • 12 Belgian endive leaves
  • 2-3 Blood oranges, peeled and sectioned
  • 60 g Creamy goat cheese
  • Thyme or rosemary leaves
  • Truffel oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly milled black pepper
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Sprinkle with freshly chopped thyme or rosemary leaves. Drizzle with a little truffle oil and season with salt and pepper.

    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.
