Fennel, Endive and Orange Salad with Ricotta Salata

From the recipe box Marissa’s recipes by
Serves 8

Ingredients

1 bulb fennel, green stalks cut off (use the white bulb only)
1 head of endive, thinly sliced
3 oranges, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced (I used a combo of blood oranges and navel - packed with vitamin C and fiber)
½ cup fresh grated ricotta salata (it’s a hard cheese that’s slightly salty...great flavor and texture!)
2 Tbsp. thinly sliced shallots
1 Tbsp. minced chives
~ Lemon Vinaigrette
½ tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. minced shallots
~ juice of 1 lemon
1 egg yolk (yes, raw egg yolk...you’ll end up with a smooth, creamier dressing without adding a ton of calories or fat --remember you’re dividing it by 8 servings)
~ salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 to 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Steps

  1. For the vinaigrette, whisk together mustard through salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking. Toss fennel, endive and oranges with ½ of vinaigrette in a large salad or serving bowl. Sprinkle ricotta salata and chives over top and serve.
