blood orange endive salad

Dinner
Yesterday I had the honor of being the Godmother to my beautiful niece, Mia Rose. After the church, there was a reception dinner where I totally indulged on some not-so-light dishes and of course, cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 head endive
  • 1 blood orange
  • 1 tbsp crumbled gorgonzola
  • 1 tbsp fresh squeezed blood orange juice
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp white balsamic
  • salt and fresh pepper to taste
     

Directions

  1. Peel the orange and cut into sections.
  2. Remove the outer leaves of the endive and fan them on the plate.
  3. Chop the remaining smaller leaves and place them in the center of the plate.
  4. Top with crumbled cheese.
  5. Combine the vinaigrette ingredients and whisk; drizzle over salad.
