Endive and Escarole Salad with Mustard-Orange Vinaigrette

This vibrant endive and escarole salad is a sophisticated addition to any meal, offering a masterclass in balancing bitter and sweet notes. The crisp, slightly peppery leaves of the chicory family pair beautifully with the bright acidity of seasonal navel oranges. It is a refreshing choice for those seeking a light starter or a refined side dish that cuts through richer main courses.

As a versatile vegan dish, this salad relies on a simple yet punchy mustard-orange vinaigrette that uses fresh citrus juice to create a silky texture without the need for honey or dairy. It is a healthy, naturally gluten-free option that brings a burst of winter sunshine to the table. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or as a palate cleanser during a multi-course dinner.
