Remove any blemished or wilted outer leaves on the endive. Slice off teh base of the endive adn separate individual leaves. Wrap 18 of the largest leaves in damp paper towels. Slice the remaining leaves into 1/2 inch pieces. Remove any wilted outer leaves on bibb lettuce. Select 6 leaves adn wrap these in damp paper towels. Chop the remaining leaves into 1 inch square pieces. In large mixing bowl combine both lettuces (chopped) with the watercress. Drizzle with 2 T Sherry Vinaigrette adn toss well. Arrange dressed greens on 6 chilled salad plates as follows- plate 3 whole endive leaves in a triangle. Place 1 bibb lettuce leaf in the center. Spoon a portion of the dressed greens in the center of teh bibb lettuce (like a lettuce cup). Sprinkle with nuts and cheese. Top each salad with several orange sections and drizzle with Sherry Vinaigrette.
VARIATION- for an attractive alternative, substitute chopped pears or apples for the oranges, instead of the goat cheese, try a tangy blue cheese.
