BELGIAN ENDIVE AND WALNUT SALAD (INSALATA BELGA E NOCI)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and salt, and season with black pepper. Whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream to make a smooth, emulsified dressing.
• Toss the endive, apples, and walnuts together in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, toss well, and serve immediately.

BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH EGG SALAD

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.

• Place endive in salad bowl. Add dressing and chives. Toss and serve.

WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH BELGIAN ENDIVE

Steps:

• Peel the citrus: With a serrated knife, cut off top and bottom of the fruit, so it sits solidly on the cutting board. Cut top to bottom following fruit's curve to remove peel and white pith. Slice the oranges and grapefruit horizontally into 1/8-inch rounds and place them in a bowl. Save the accumulated juice in the bowl for the vinaigrette.
• Make the vinaigrette: Combine the shallots with red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, then whisk in the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the reserved citrus juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice the endives crosswise into 1-inch thick ribbons (but slice the dense core thinner) and place in the center of a salad plate.
• Surround the endive with citrus slices. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.

• Use 4-6 oz cubed or chopped cheese of your choice instead of the beets.
