Recipe Notes
Note 1: Every 6 endives may also be substituted with 1 small head of another lettuce from the chicory family (such as curly endive, escarole, or radicchio). Note 2: Truffled almonds can be found in many grocery stores (including Trader Joe's), specialty stores, and online. Alternatively, toss roasted blanched almonds in a little truffle oil until well-coated.
