BELGIAN ENDIVE AND GRAIN MUSTARD SALAD

Belgian Endive and Grain Mustard Salad image

This is a fresh, tangy salad, loaded with sweet-sour flavor and given a good crunch by toasted hazelnuts. The bitter endive and peppery watercress complement each other beautifully, and it's all tarted up with a citrusy dressing. It's easy, and delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 cup shelled hazelnuts
1 teaspoon grain mustard
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons orange juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable or corn oil

Steps:

Put hazelnuts into a sealed freezer bag, and bash them with a rolling pin to break them into pieces. Toast in a small dry skillet until browned and aromatic. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, lime juice, orange juice, honey, salt, sesame oil and vegetable oil. Set aside.
On a large platter, toss together the Belgian endive and watercress. Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts, and drizzle with citrus and mustard dressing, tossing to combine everything well.
