Frisee Orange And Toasted Hazelnut Salad Recipes

FRISEE SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and dry the frisée, using a salad spinner or clean towel. Tear or chop the frisee into pieces.
• Zest half the orange. Then segment the orange, following the instructions in How to Cut an Orange.
• Thinly slice the shallot. Slice the Manchego cheese into pieces.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the white wine vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup or honey, salt. Whisk in the oil 1 tablespoon at a time until a creamy dressing forms. Add a few grinds of fresh ground black pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 weeks (bring to room temperature prior to serving).
• Serve the salad: place the greens on a large platter or separate plates. Top with orange slices, shallot, cheese, sliced almonds, orange zest, and mint leaves. Drizzle with about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dressing, to taste.

FRISEE SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Place 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the cut bacon and bring to a medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until it has become brown and crispy and a lot of fat has been rendered. This is a good thing!
• Place the bacon and the fat into a bowl large enough to fit all of the ingredients. Add the vinegar and the blue cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt. Add the frisee and gently toss to combine. If a little more oil or vinegar is needed do so in small increments and taste as you go. The salad should be well seasoned and dressed but not soggy. Divide the salad onto 4 individual serving plates. Sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts.
