Belgianendiveorangeanddatesalad Recipes

Steps:

• *Note: specifically the [inner white] stalks of celery plus the leaves. The celery stalks are thinly sliced on a diagonal.
• Tip: To make slicing the Medjools easier, run your knife under hot water before slicing.
• For the dressing, whisk all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
• To make individual salad stacks, place radish slices in a circle in the middle of a salad plate.
• Then build up as you go, adding oranges slices, endive slices, celery slices and leaves, dates, pistachios (or pecans) and fresh mint leaves. Repeat with remaining three dishes.
• Drizzle with dressing, and garnish with orange zest, celery leaves and fresh mint.

Steps:

• Arrange 8 endive leaves artistically on two salad plates.
• Mix remaining ingredients and divide evenly between the 8 leaves.
• Make the filling ahead of time, cover and refrigerate until serving time then fill the leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the endives into the water. Cover, and cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place the butter into a saucepan, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and golden brown. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, whisking constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well blended. Cook gently over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Preheat an oven broiler to low.
• Drain the endives. Wrap each endive with a slice of ham, and place into the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the endives. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese and parsley.
• Cook the endives under preheated broiler until cheese is golden brown and sauce bubbles, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring oil, vinegar, and sugar to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the green beans, peas, corn, pimentos, celery, and onion. Pour in dressing, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight. Season with salt and pepper, and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Mix apple, endives and almondds together in a bowl.
• Mix the dressing and pour on salad.
• Toss thoroughly and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and salt, and season with black pepper. Whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream to make a smooth, emulsified dressing.
• Toss the endive, apples, and walnuts together in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, toss well, and serve immediately.

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.
