Ingredients

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons finely sliced shallots
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/3 cup olive oil or hazelnut oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 heads Belgian endive, trimmed, cut crosswise into thin slices
• 2 heads frisee lettuce, center leaves only, torn into pieces
• 2 blood oranges or regular oranges, segmented
• 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

Directions

Whisk the balsamic vinegar, shallots, and honey in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with salt and pepper.
