Great to serve along side a heavy main course. Crisp, light & easy to make. The lemon in the vinagrette makes the whole thing light. I think you could use whatever you wanted as greens. And I carefully bought, but then forgot -- twice -- to add the olives. But it was still a great light, refreshing salad.

This salad was a huge win. I was not sure if I'd like it much based on the simplicity of ingredients, but together, they were light, fresh, and wonderful. It was a great accompaniment to the richness of gnocchi. The lemon/honey dressing balanced the bitter greens nicely. We will definitely make it again in the future.

Great salad - very light and fresh... just divine alongside Ina's turkey lasagna. It was a hit with our dinner guests! I did add more honey to the dressing ( about 2tsp total as other reviewers mentioned it was very tart. We were pleased with the hint of sweetness to balance the slightly bitter endive in the salad. Will make this again!

All Produce is Assertive in Flavours. Remembering that "In Season" Fuits & Vegetables are a bit Sweeter,realise,Best in Season for this Salad.Children have challenging Palates,so unless know They are Adventurous, would plan a simpler Salad for Them.Like Endive grilled and tastes so good w/Crispy Romaine. Use a Honey You really enjoy.Part of the flavouring Profile for this Delicious Sweet/Tart Italian Cleanser for the next course. Italiano Style,as learned from Native Sicilians.

Love this salad. Have made it many times. Light, bright and refreshing, this is the perfect summer time salad when it's so hot outside.

I made this for a dinner group for my church class. I doubled everything, and it all worked fine. For the dressing I found that placing about 3x the honey in a small bowl and microwaving it for about 10 seconds allowed it to be far easier to work with while making the dressing. Using other reviewers comments on watching the tart taste, I worked the dressing until I got the 'right' flavor of tart and sweet. I mixed the salad up, but kept the dressing in a jar until we arrived at our destination. I applied the dressing when we served it and it was very tasty. Definitely a keeper!

This salad was interesting. It had nice textures, and I always love kalamata olives. I made this exactly as directed, and the dressing was very tart. Between the lemon in the dressing, the bitter endive and the relatively strong flavor of the parsley, the kids and husband hated it. I thought it was ok. If I made it again (which is relatively unlikely given my family's dislike for the salad, I would definitely follow the advice of other reviewers and add more honey to take the tart edge off the salad.

Never made this before - took it to a dinner party for eight - all we had was lasagna, this salad, some garlic bread and a little wine. Wow - what a hit and it made enough for all - . Fresh Fresh and light - the flavors are out of this world!

Man, this is a good salad! My husband doesn't even like olives & he snarfed down 2 big bowls! Suitable for a dinner party or summer cookout- would be equally at home in either situation! We had it with grilled pizza but it would also be a good start to a heavier meal because it's light and refreshing.

I used about 2 Tbs of honey after watching the video, and I threw in some oregano from the garden and a little minced roasted garlic. The dressing was a bit sweet but turned out to be perfect with the bitter endive & salty olives. I also added 1/2 a can of cannellini beans for a bit of extra fiber and they soak up the dressing really nicely.

Just fantastic, try it. :

I took this to an Italian wine dinner party and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. Only a small portion was leftover! I did add a tad more honey but thought that blending the dressing mellowed the lemon flavor and created a creamy taste.
