BELGIAN ENDIVE AND BEETROOT SALAD



Belgian Endive and Beetroot Salad image

My mother used to make endive salad (witlof salade) in different ways; I thought I share them with you. She used to use mayonnaise but I usually use the sour cream. I would think you can use your own favorite dressing on this but I would suggest you make it a creamy one. Use as much dressing on this as you like, the 3 tablespoons are just a guide line. I sometimes cheat and buy the beets in a jar! The amount of this salad depends on the size of the endive and the beets.

Provided by Amy Finley

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 to 4 small-sized red beets, greens trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt, for seasoning
4 large or 6 small heads Belgian endive, cored
Garlic and Herb Vinaigrette, recipe follows
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt, for seasoning
Pepper, for seasoning
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Place the beets on top, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then fold the long and short edges of the aluminum foil up to the middle and roll together, making a packet with the beets inside. Put in the oven and roast until fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Can be done a day or two ahead of time.) Allow to cool, then slip the skins from the beets, trim the ends, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
  • Quarter the endives lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch thick moons. Combine the beets and endive in a salad bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
  • In a small glass bowl, melt the salt in the vinegar, then add the pepper, shallot, garlic, mustard, and herbs and combine well. Whisk in the olive oil in slow, steady stream until the dressing is thickened. Alternately, place all ingredients in a glass jar, close the lid, and shake vigorously.

BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH EGG SALAD



Belgian Endive with Egg Salad image

I was so very lucky in that I was able to go to Italy, and I went to wonderful dinners where various stuffed endives were served. Egg salad was a nice, rich, savory favorite every time. :)

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large hard-boiled eggs, shelled and finely chopped
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon minced dried onion
6 heads Belgian endive
4 ounces cooked bay shrimp, rinsed and well drained
paprika
fresh edible flower, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix together the chopped eggs, mayo, mustard, celery salt, and minced dried onion.
  • You can make the filling 1 day ahead- at this point, you'd need to cover and refrigerate it.
  • Cut off and discard the root ends of endive, and separate leaves.
  • Rinse leaves under cool running water, then shake dry.
  • On the wide end of each leaf, place a generous teaspoon the egg mixture, and then place 1 shrimp atop each.
  • Sprinkle each filled leaf with paprika.
  • And now for the artistic portion of the program: for serving: on a large platter, arrange the filled leaves in concentric circles, resembling a flower. If you like, you can place colorful edible flowers in the middle and arrange the leaves around them, for a little color and artistry! You can arrange them on the platter 4 hours ahead, then cover and chill until serving.

Beet, Endive, and Orange Salad image

In this salad, sweet roasted beets and orange segments complement bitter endive.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large beets, about 2 pounds, scrubbed and stems removed
6 navel oranges
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
3 heads Bibb lettuce (1/2 pound), or 1 head Boston lettuce, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 heads Belgian endive (about 1/2 pound), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 pound ricotta salata, or feta cheese, crumbled
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets in an 8-by-8-inch baking pan coated with olive-oil cooking spray; cover with foil. Place in oven; roast until tender, 45 to 55 minutes, depending on size. Allow beets to cool, remove skins, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks, reserving half a peeled beet for vinaigrette.
  • Using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes from the oranges. Carefully cut each segment away from membranes, collecting juice and segments in a bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from membranes before discarding. Drain segments, and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup juice.
  • Place reserved half beet, reserved orange juice, red-wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a blender; puree until smooth. With motor running, add canola oil, and process until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
  • Place lettuce, endive, reserved beets, oranges, and remaining parsley in a bowl. Just before serving, add vinaigrette, and toss. Garnish with ricotta salata, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant ingredients: High-quality ingredients make a world of difference in the flavor and texture of your salad. Look for crisp Belgian endives, earthy beets, and sweet oranges.
  • Use a mandoline slicer for even slices: This will help ensure that your salad is evenly cooked and has a nice presentation.
  • Roast the beets until they are tender: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the beets and caramelizes them slightly.

  • Garnish with fresh herbs or citrus zest: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.
