2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 oranges, 2 blood and 2 navel if possible

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons black-olive paste
1 small head frisee (10 ounces), washed and dried

1 cup kumquats, sliced crosswise into 1/8-inch rounds, seeds removed
1 bunch radishes, trimmed, sliced crosswise into 1/8-inch rounds
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, medium chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place large piece of foil on baking sheet, place beets in center. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, season with salt and pepper. Wrap foil loosely around beets to make packet. Roast until beets are tender when pierced with knife, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool. Peel and slice into 1/8-inch rounds, transfer to large bowl. Set aside.
  • Cut the peel and pith from oranges. Slice oranges into 1/4-inch rounds. Scrape juices from cutting board into small bowl. Add orange rounds to beets. Peel tangerines; separate into sections. Pull white pith. Add to beets.
  • For vinaigrette, combine orange juice, vinegar, mustard, olive paste, and any collected citrus juices in small bowl. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, arrange lettuces on platter. Arrange with onion slices. Add kumquats, radishes, and parsley to beet mixture. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss. Arrange beet mixture over lettuce and onions.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp curly endive. Look for leaves that are deep green and have no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Wash the curly endive thoroughly. Curly endive can trap dirt and grit, so be sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the curly endive. This will help prevent the leaves from tearing.
  • Prepare the citrus vinaigrette in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Toss the curly endive with the citrus vinaigrette just before serving. This will help prevent the leaves from wilting.
  • Serve the curly endive salad with additional citrus segments, crumbled cheese, and chopped nuts, if desired.

Conclusion:

Curly endive is a delicious and versatile salad green that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. When choosing curly endive, look for leaves that are deep green and have no signs of wilting or bruising. Wash the curly endive thoroughly before using and slice it with a sharp knife. Prepare the citrus vinaigrette in advance and toss the curly endive with the vinaigrette just before serving. Serve the curly endive salad with additional citrus segments, crumbled cheese, and chopped nuts, if desired.
