Delicate curly endive combines beautifully with sweet oranges, red onion, and fruity niçoise olives. It's sometimes sold as chicory, but it’s actually quite different—a deeper green and not as bitter. It’s also sometimes sold as frisée. Also, the dressing couldn't be simpler and doesn't distract from the other ingredients. All you do is whisk some good-quality olive oil into balsamic vinegar, then season with pepper. Doesn't get much easier than that!
