I served a version of this - endive plus goat cheese drizzled with honey and chopped walnuts. It was the hit of the table. Super easy. Unusual.

There are a lot of "steps", but the recipe is very easy to put together. I substituted strained non-fat yogurt for the goat cheese, balsamic vinegar and had to use freeze dried chives, but the recipe worked just as well. Had plenty of dressing left over and will be using it on salads this week. Overall, it tasted almost as good as at Jaleo!

Ever since Rachel went to Jaleo in Washington, DC and had this appetizer, I just had to go myself and try it. Not only was it the best ever, but I'm so happy Food Network was able to put this recipe on their site. It's the easiest to make and every time I've made it, my friends and family have been impressed by the appearanve and taste. I have changed it though before to substitute mandarin oranges and camembert or brie cheese for the oranges and goat cheese and it's just as tasty. Overall, this recipe is top of the line!
