Belgian Endive Salad Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/3 c. White Wine Vinegar
- 2/3 c. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 4 x 3 oz Belgian Endives Assorted Wild or possibly Pickled Mushrooms Assorted fresh herbs and Pesticide-free edible Flowers Pickled Ginger, sliced
- 1 x Plum Tomato
Directions
- Marinade: In a screw-top jar combine wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt and sugar. Cover and shake well. Set aside.
- Belgian Endive Salad: Cut Belgian endive into fan shapes. Using a large knife, cut each endive lengthwise from endive tips to base, cutting to but not through the base. Turn endive a quarter turn and cut lengthwise again.
- This now forms 4 large "petals." Cut each quarter lengthwise again to create 8 "petals" which are still held intact by the base.
- Run cool water into center of each endive. Drain. Arrange in a shallow dish. Shake marinade and pour over endive. Marinate 10 min, spooning marinade over endive twice. Remove endive from marinade with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels, patting gently to remove excess marinade.
- On each of 4 serving plates, spread out an endive "fan." Scatter mushrooms over endive. Decorate endive "petals" with fresh herbs and flowers to resemble a flower arrangement. Arrange ginger on each endive near base.
- Halve tomato crosswise, using a zigzag cut. Remove pulp and seeds. Cut each tomato half in half again, lenghtwise. Fit a tomato quarter over base of each endive to create a "vase."
