BELGIAN ENDIVE AND BEETROOT SALAD
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.

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.

BEET AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH WALNUTS
This is a French classic. I add a small amount of goat cheese or feta to mine (in France they might use blue cheese, or no cheese), a tart contrast to the sweet beets.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
- Allow the salad to cool slightly before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or citrus zest: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your salad.
