Ingredients

1 cup shallots, peeled, thinly sliced in rings, and separated (2 to 4 shallots)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 large radicchio, halved, cored, and shredded like slaw (12 ounces) 

1 large endive, halved lengthwise, cored, and sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick (8 ounces) 

3 ounces baby arugula

4 navel oranges, peeled and sliced in 1/4-inch-thick half-rounds

2/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 to 3 lemons)

1/2 teaspoon good Dijon mustard

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup good olive oil

Directions

  1. Place the shallots in a small shallow bowl and pour the vinegar over them. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a large shallow serving bowl, combine the radicchio, endive, arugula, oranges, and olives. Lift the shallots from the vinegar with a slotted spoon, sprinkle them on the salad, and toss lightly (discard the vinegar).
  3. In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil. Pour enough of the vinaigrette over the salad to moisten well. Sprinkle with one more teaspoon salt, toss well, and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

Rather that using arugula,endive and radicchio, I used an organic spring greens mix that also had arugula and radicchio among other fresh greens. This worked out well. One thing I noticed is that for the dressing it calls for equal amounts of olive oil and lemon juice. Ina’s other lemon vinaigrette dressings online have a ratio of one part lemon juice to two parts olive oil. This produced a very light dressing. I made half the recipe and everyone’s seemed to enjoy it and came back for seconds.<br /><br />I suggest maybe using Ina’s traditional version of the lemon vinaigrette rather than this version. I also sliced the Kalamata olives, which seemed to work well as you got a little bit of sliced olive with every bite. <br /><br />I would definitely make this again. It’s a beautiful salad and the sliced oranges added a bright fresh flavor. FYI- Cara Cara oranges were the perfect choice for this salad.
