• Whisk together the garlic, olive oil, honey, mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve.

WINTER CITRUS AND RED CHICORIES SALAD

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife and following the curves of the fruit, carefully peel the blood oranges, navel orange and grapefruit. Remove all the peels and the white pith, but keep the fruits as smooth and round as possible.
• Cut the blood oranges and navel orange crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and place in a low bowl. Use knife to cut between the grapefruit membranes to form segments; add to bowl. Squeeze the grapefruit "carcass" over a strainer into the bowl with the citrus.
• Separate radicchio into leaves and tear into large pieces.
• Remove and discard a layer of exterior leaves from each endive so that only smooth and unblemished leaves are showing. Trim 1 inch from the bottoms and discard. Separate the leaves.
• Place radicchio and endive leaves in a large platter or in a low-sided salad bowl. Arrange citrus slices and segments artfully over leaves, reserving the citrus juices.
• In a small bowl, combine shallots and 3 tablespoons reserved citrus juices. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil and taste. Adjust the seasonings, whisk again, and pour dressing evenly over salad.
• Garnish with kumquat slices, if using, and toasted walnuts.

ENDIVE, ORANGE AND ROQUEFORT SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Cut the heads of endive in half lengthwise, remove the triangle of core at the base of each half so the leaves separate, and cut the leaves in half again lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. Drizzle the leaves with the vinaigrette and add the walnuts, Roquefort, and apple. Add the arugula and toss. Zest the orange into the salad with a strip zester. Peel the orange and remove the white pith around the orange with a small sharp knife. Cut the orange sections between the membranes and toss them on the salad. Discard the membranes. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

BELGIAN ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off the bottom of endive, and cut the leaves into 1-inch lengths or cut them lengthwise. Drop into cold water; this will keep them from turning dark. Drain and pat dry.
• Combine lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, oil and salt and pepper in small bowl. Beat rapidly with a wire whisk or a fork.
• Place endive in salad bowl. Add dressing and chives. Toss and serve.
