Citrus and Endive with Walnut Gremolata

This vibrant citrus and endive salad with walnut gremolata is a light, refreshing addition to any seasonal menu. The sharp, slightly bitter crunch of the endive leaves provides a sophisticated contrast to the sweet acidity of blood oranges or navel oranges. Topped with a fragrant herb and toasted nut garnish, it offers a refined balance of textures and flavours that feels both elegant and restorative.

As a versatile vegan dish, it is particularly well-suited for winter lunches or dinner parties when citrus fruit is at its peak. Walnut oil adds a delicate, nutty depth that ties the elements together, though a high-quality extra virgin olive oil works just as well. For the best results, assemble the salad just before serving to maintain the crispness of the leaves.

How to make Citrus and Endive with Walnut Gremolata

Toast walnuts in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

Coarsely chop walnuts and toss in a small bowl with garlic, parsley, and lemon zest; season gremolata with salt and pepper.

Gently toss endives, oranges, oil, and half of gremolata in a medium bowl; transfer to a platter. Top with remaining gremolata and squeeze lemon over.

Do ahead: Gremolata, without garlic, can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Stir in garlic just before serving.
