The yellow and red endives in this salad pair beautifully with grapefruit wedges and a sweet-tart grapefruit vinaigrette. The natural vanilla extract added to the vinaigrette softens the grapefruit's bitterness, while the cashews add a touch of creaminess.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • One and a half pink grapefruits
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cashews in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast on the middle rack until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt.
  2. Prepare the vinaigrette dressing:

    Grate the zest of half a grapefruit (set aside) and juice one grapefruit. In a blender, combine the zest and juice, mustard, honey, vinegar, and vanilla extract and blend on high speed. Without stopping the blender, add the olive oil in a steady stream. Blend until the dressing is smooth.

  3. Prepare the salad:

    Peel the reserved grapefruit half and cut into wedges. Arrange the endive leaves on plates. Sprinkle the endive with grapefruit slices and cashews. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
