Grilled Asparagus and Endive

A member of the chicory family, endive has a crunchy texture and a pleasantly bitter taste that softens with cooking. Here, endive is grilled with asparagus and then tossed with orange zest and juice, which add bright flavor to the dish. Long strips of zest look especially attractive, but finely grated zest is equally delicious.
