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.

Made with romaine and giant red endive and almonds. Nice!

Not bad, as I’m getting sick of my regular green salads. Sesame oil and mustard flavors were undetectable, so if I make this again I will boost these proportions.

This was a VERY delicious salad. I substituted arugula for the watercress and added crumbled goat's cheese - fantastic!
