In winter and early spring, grapefruits are plentiful and can be a refreshing addition to any salad. Sweet-tart pink grapefruit transforms slightly bitter endive into a delicate, well-rounded, and delicious Belgian endive pink grapefruit salad. I love Belgian endive (a.k.a escarole or witloof chicory) raw, for it\u2019s crunchy, faint bitter taste that is at the same time tangy and sophisticated. Really, it varies depending on how it is prepared and typically the lighter the leaves are, the less bitter they are.<\/p>\n

When served in salads, it is best balanced out in some way with a something sweet, such as apples or oranges. In this case, tossing in some fresh raw peas adds a splash of color and a nice sweet and crunchy texture to this refreshing salad. If you prefer, use blanched peas – personally I like their fresh tasty crunch, as it reminds of summers as a kid eating peas straight from the pod, directly from the garden.<\/p>\n

By the way, did you know this citrus fruit got its name, grapefruit, because it grows on the tree in clusters, like grapes? That\u2019s right, there are sometimes as many as 25 fruits in a cluster hang from a tree. If you want to experience the grapefruit’s full puckering potential, then go light on the sugar, or skip it all together!<\/p>\n

Refreshing and light, this salad is the perfect way to showcase (and savor!) both endive and grapefruit.<\/p>\n
