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.

Toss the endive and frisee in a large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper. Mound the salad onto plates. Surround with the orange segments. Sprinkle with hazelnuts. Drizzle any remaining vinaigrette around the salads and serve immediately.

Expat in the Netherlands
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a fabulous recipe. Quick, easy and very tasty. I served this salad to my guest at a BBQ I had in honor of my... American 4th of July celebration. There was not one morsel left in the bowl! The only change I made was to use baby greens instead of endive, as they were out of endive at the grocery store. I chose to use the hazelnut oil in the dressing as well. This was a fantastic recipe that is now in my keeper file. Thank you Giada for a fabulous recipe.Read more

Tips for storing dressing?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this salad! The dressing is very delicious! However, I put the remainder in the fridge to use later in the week and... it hardened. After leaving it out at room temperature for a little while it did return to it's liquid state. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to store the dressing? I'm thinking it should be refridgerated like other salad dressings are (and to keep the shallots fresh) but then it thickens to a state that is unservable. Thanks for the tips!Read more

Very refreshing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My grocery was out of frisee but found a greens blend that contained it and did use the endive. The salad was so tasty and... refreshing with the orange flavor and was complimented by the toasted hazelnuts. I received many kudos and 4 of us ate the whole salad as a side-dish, no leftovers! A keeper for sure.Read more
