Delicious. Sweet, bitter and tart all at the same time. This salad was perfect with trout filets.

Loved the mix of sweet and bitter. I ended up adding about a tsp of honey to the vinaigrette and I added almond slivers instead of the hazelnuts and forwent the cranberries. Next time, I think I will cut the lettuce leaves in half just to make it easier to eat them.

First time I eat endive and I was surprised at how bitter it is alone. But paired with the orange it doesn't taste that bitter. Nice refreshing salad.
