This delicious salad takes just 15 minutes to make and while you could eat it right away, it tastes even better the longer it sits, so plan to leave at least an hour of marinating time before serving.

Tips:

  • Utilize Seasonal Ingredients: Asparagus, oranges, and endives are all in season during the spring. Using fresh, seasonal ingredients will enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your salad.
  • Select Quality Oranges: Choose oranges that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid oranges with bruises or soft spots.
  • Properly Clean Endives: To clean endives, remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves. Cut the endives lengthwise and thoroughly rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Roast Asparagus for Enhanced Flavor: Roasting asparagus brings out its natural sweetness and caramelizes it slightly. For best results, roast the asparagus at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes).
  • Make a Tangy Dressing: The dressing for this salad combines olive oil, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the proportions of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences.
  • Garnish with Orange Zest: Before serving, sprinkle some freshly grated orange zest over the salad. This will add a burst of citrusy flavor and enhance its presentation.

Conclusion:

Asparagus, orange, and endive salad is a delightful spring salad that combines the sweetness of roasted asparagus, the tanginess of oranges, and the slight bitterness of endives. The honey-orange dressing adds a touch of sweetness and acidity, while the toasted walnuts provide a crunchy texture. This salad is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a healthy and refreshing meal option. So, next time you're looking for a light and flavorful salad, give this asparagus, orange, and endive salad a try. It's sure to impress your taste buds!
