Attractive interesting recipe. We enjoyed it very much. I subbed Apple cider vinegar for the red wine and sweet onion for the purple - it was simply supply & demand. The recipe still worked. I marinated the broccoli for 4 hours and the vinegar actually cooked the broccoli so it lost it's lovely vibrant color.

This made a nice, light lunch for me toay. I halved the recipe and used small romaine heart leaves in place of the more expensive endive. Thank you! Made for the Australian Recipe Swap!
