Combining sweet, sour, salty, and bitter ingredients with a tangy vinaigrette,this salad almost explodes with flavor.
Ingredients
Makes 8 servings
Step 1
Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with pepper.
Step 2
Cut off tops and bottoms from clementines to expose fruit, then, resting fruit on a cutting board, remove peel, including all white pith, by cutting off vertical strips with a sharp paring knife. Cut segments free from inner membranes.
Step 3
Halve endives lengthwise, then cut out and discard cores. Cut endives diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide strips and put in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
Separate celery leaves from ribs and cut ribs diagonally into very thin slices, then add leaves and ribs to endives along with olives, onions, parsley, and clementine segments. Whisk dressing, then gently toss salad with enough dressing to coat.
• Salad ingredients can be prepared 4 hours ahead and chilled separately in sealed plastic bags.
• Dressing can also be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Back to TopVery good. I used canned mandarin oranges to cut down on prep time and it worked very well. I also left the olives while (pitted) and only cut the onions in half unless they were abnormally large. It took less than ten minutes and was a hit.

While preparing this I dubbed it "insanasalad". It's a crazy combination, but WOW, does it work. A lot of prep, but well worth it.

This was good and worth making again. Segmenting the clementines is a little labor-intensive, I might try substituting Mandarin oranges next time to reduce the prep time.

The mixture of flavor is wonderfull. I will do this one again. My girlfriend tried endive before and she didn't like it. However, after tasting this salade she didn't have the same opinion.

Simply excellent - a wonderfully refreshing, sophisticated blend of flavours and textures. I substituted blood oranges for the clementines and did not remove the membranes from the segments. This worked very well and the salad drew rave reviews from all diners.

This was a refreshing and contrasting start to an otherwise robust meal (followed by roast leg of lamb, potato lardon casserole, cheese course, and maple creme flan).

I have made this twice, to rave reviews...it is a delicious salad with many distinct flavors. Could not get endive so I used bibb and romaine. Also substituted naval oranges once.

This was delicious, every bite was a different taste sensation. I served this as one of the appetizers for a progressive dinner. It was a big hit. Everyone requested the recipe.

Wondeful. I had to use Spinich instead which worked out just fine. I would definately make this again. Very simple dressing that could be used in other salads.

是的,但它似乎是一个奇怪的组合VERY good. Made this for a New Year's Eve dinner following the recipe except added a few red currants for additional color. Everyone raved about it and it's a great way to use up those clementines!
