This elegant salad recipe features endive leaves topped with fresh oranges, goat cheese, and a roasted garlic vinaigrette. Ingredients:
vinaigrette |
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, preferably spanish |
1 whole garlic head, top sliced off |
1/4 cup sherry vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped shallot |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
20 belgian endive leaves |
40 orange sections (4 oranges) |
2 ounces goat cheese |
2 ounces sliced marcona almonds |
minced chives |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place olive oil in a small roasting pan with garlic. Bake 30–35 minutes or until garlic cloves feel soft.
2. Remove from oven, and separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins. Process garlic cloves, vinegar, shallot, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.
3. On each of 4 plates, place 5 endive leaves in a pinwheel pattern. Add 2–3 orange segments to each leaf of endive. Crumble a little goat cheese over each, and top with a few almond slices. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the roasted-garlic vinaigrette (you'll have extra), and garnish with minced chives.
