This salad is a great way to use up leftover endive. I also like to add crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese for an extra pop of flavor.

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The endive is crisp and slightly bitter, the oranges are sweet and juicy, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. The dressing is also delicious and really brings the whole dish together.
