This endive salad utilizes one of my favorite types of lettuce: chicories! Treviso and red endive are bitter lettuces that are super popular in Italy, and they're in the same family as radicchio. I love to pair them with bright, sweet flavors - in this case, with citrus, pomegranate seeds and whole grain mustard. Some freshly crisped up pancetta adds a great hit of saltiness, and all together, this is one fabulous salad that will pair great with any holiday meal. And how about those colors together?

Ingredients

  • 3 red endive (halved)
  • 1 large Treviso (quartered)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 blood or cara cara orange (segmented)
  • 1 clementine (peeled and sliced in rounds)
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped basil (optional)
  • For the dressing:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 pound thick cut pancetta (cut into 1/3 inch dice)
  • 1 shallot (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
  2. Place the endive and Treviso on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with the oil and season with the salt. Grill each half for about 4 minutes flipping the halves after 2 minutes. Remove the chicories to a plater and arrange nicely. Scatter the orange segments over the chicories and tuck the clementine rounds throughout. Sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.
  3. Meanwhile add the pancetta to a small skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring often until the fat is rendered and the pancetta is just about crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and cook until the shallots are soft and fragrant and the pancetta is fully crisp, about 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Stir in the mustard and vinegar. Spoon the dressing over the salad, top with basil if using and serve immediately.
