Ingredients

4 heads Belgian endive
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 ripe unblemished avocado

Steps:

Trim off the bottoms of the endive. Cut them in 2-inch lengths. Drop them in cold water and drain well.
In a salad bowl, blend the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper with a wire whisk until smooth. Set aside.
When ready to serve, peel the avocado and slice it in half. Discard the pit and cut the avocado lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch thick.
Add the endive and avocado to the salad bowl and toss. Serve on chilled salad plates.
