Everyday SALADS.

I love vinaigrette-tossed mesclun as much as the next person does, but you don't really need a cookbook to tell you how to do that, do you? So I won't. To me, "salad" doesn't just mean dressed lettuce and other raw veggies, and I like to push the envelope with flavors and textures, and do something a little unexpected, as in these recipes.

ENDIVE AND FRISeE SALAD.

with Blood Oranges and Hazelnuts Italians aren't afraid of using spicy and slightly bitter greens in their salads, and you shouldn't be either. Belgian endive are small, pale (white) heads of lettuce with yellow tips; they can be eaten raw (as in this salad) or grilled or roasted-the possibilities are endless. Frisee has slender, curly leaves that are a yellow-green color. The blood oranges add a hint of tart sweetness and a beautiful refres.h.i.+ng color to this salad-they're orange with bright red or red-streaked white flesh. The dressing, nuts, orange segments, and lettuces can all be prepared ahead of time, no last-minute fuss.
