ENDIVE SALAD WITH CANDIED WALNUTS, ORANGE CARAMEL DRESSING AND BLUE CHEESE



Endive Salad with Candied Walnuts, Orange Caramel Dressing and Blue Cheese image

You can use a lot of oranges for this recipe: Minneolas, tangerines, navels. You can also use tangerines if you prefer - whatever looks best at the supermarket. This is fun because you candy the nuts and clean the caramel off the pan by using it to make a tasty dressing. The sweetness is so good with the walnuts and bitter greens. Use endive, chicory, escarole, radicchio or whatever other bitter greens are good. Want to be dairy-free? Simply omit the blue cheese.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup walnut halves
Kosher salt or flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 large oranges, 1 juiced (about 1/4 cup) and 1 peeled and supremed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large yellow endives, leaves separated
1 small head radicchio, leaves separated
3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
10 to 12 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, stemmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange the walnuts on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, really toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Spray a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a large saute pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a light amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts in a single layer over the caramel. Spray a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and stir the nuts, quickly but carefully, to coat with the caramel. Transfer the nuts from the pan onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling the nuts so they separate as they land on the parchment. Season with salt.
  • To the pan with the residual caramel, add the vinegar and orange juice. Warm the pan, whisking until the caramel, vinegar and orange juice are well combined. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the mustard and oil. Adjust the seasoning.
  • Arrange the endive and radicchio leaves in a single layer on a family-style large platter. Intersperse the orange segments and walnuts with the endive and radicchio. Season with salt to taste. Drizzle with all of the dressing. Top with the blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

RADICCHIO SALAD WITH WALNUT DRESSING



Radicchio Salad with Walnut Dressing image

Walnut oil gives this salad a distinctly nutty flavor; it can be found in most grocery stores. Radicchio di Treviso has narrow, tapered leaves; radicchio di Verona leaves form loose, round heads. The varieties may not be clearly labeled, but the shapes make them easy to distinguish.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads radicchio, preferably Treviso (about 1 1/4 pounds total), leaves separated
1/3 cup walnut halves

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. (If using olive oil, you may want to warm the oil and walnuts first over low heat in a small pan for a few minutes. Then let cool to room temperature to infuse the oil with flavor.)
  • Add radicchio to dressing, and toss. Divide among 4 serving plates, and sprinkle with walnuts.
