Endive and Avocado Salad
From Lucy's recipe collection. Photographed from her binder of favorites curated over 30+ years.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 heads endive
- 3 ripe Haas avocados, peeled and seeded
Method
- Whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a vinaigrette. Remove a 1/2-inch from the stem end of each endive, discard the core, and cut the rest across into 1-inch chunks. Cut the avocados into large dice or wedges. Toss the avocados and endive with the vinaigrette. Season, to taste, and serve at room temperature.
- Note: Haas avocados are the brown ones from California. The green ones don't have nearly as much flavor.
