Endive With Oranges, Almonds, and Goat Cheese image

I have seen this recipe both in Vegetarian Times magazine and on the Food Network website (it was on $40 a Day). It is one of the best things I have ever eaten! Everyone I've ever served it to has loved it, too. The last six ingredients are for the Roasted Garlic Viniagrette that tops the endives.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 endives, leaves separated

1/4 cup almonds, sliced, toasted
8 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
salt
1/4 cup garlic clove
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar

Steps:

  • For Roasted Garlic Viniagrette: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • To assemble: Set leaves on a platter or plate. Fill each leave with one or two orange segments, some goat cheese crumbles, almond slices, and salt.
