compare with the earthy flavor of fresh ones."

1 medium red onion, peeled and
cut into thin rings

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Generous 1 teaspoon green peppercorn

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon safflower oil

Cut off top of beets, leaving roots in place. Cover with water and
simmer approximately 30 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool in juice and slip
off
skins. Chop into medium-size chunks. Wash and dry endive. Cut into
