Frisée and Endive Salad with Warm Brussels Sprouts and Toasted Pecans

This elegant frisée and endive salad offers a sophisticated blend of textures and temperatures, making it a standout vegetarian dish for the colder months. The natural bitterness of the fresh endive and frisée leaves is beautifully balanced by the richness of Brussels sprouts roasted in butter until golden and tender. Toasted pecans add a delightful crunch and earthy depth, while a sharp, shallot-flecked Dijon vinaigrette ties all the elements together with a bright, acidic lift.

Perfect as a light starter or a refined side dish for a Sunday roast, this seasonal salad is as nutritious as it is flavourful. The combination of warm and cold components provides a modern twist on traditional brassica recipes, offering a fresh way to enjoy Brussels sprouts. For the best results, serve it immediately after tossing to ensure the salad leaves retain their crispness against the warm, buttery vegetables.
