15 ml (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard
60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil
30 ml (2 tbsp) blood orange juice
5 ml (1 tsp) balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Walnut halves, toasted to taste

Directions

1. Set aside a few whole radicchio leaves and tear the remaining leaves into small pieces.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, salt, pepper, orange juice and vinegar. Add the oil in a thin stream as you whisk.
5. In a large bowl, toss the endive and radicchio pieces. Toss with dressing just before serving.
6. To serve: Arrange the whole endive and radicchio leaves in a circular pattern on the salad plates and place tossed salad in the middle.

Tip: This colourful salad is delicious with shavings of Bella Lodi cheese or Mozzarina cheese slices.
