This Endive Kumquat Salad is the perfect end-of-winter salad - it's just bright enough to give you hope for spring.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Belgian endives
  • About 10 sprigs parsley
  • About 10 sprigs mint
  • 10 kumquats
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice (Meyer lemon juice works nicely here, too)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable or olive oil (nothing too strong!)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation:

  1. Cut off ends of the endive, cut endive into bite size pieces, and put in a salad bowl.
  2. Pinch leaves off parsley and mint sprigs. Tear them into smaller pieces and add them to the endive.
  3. Cut the kumquats into quarters and add them to the salad.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, oil, and salt. Drizzle dressing over salad. Toss salad to coat everything evenly with the dressing. Serve immediately.
