Method

  1. Put a good grinding of salt and pepper in a bowl and add the mustard and red wine vinegar. Mix until the salt has dissolved. Add 1 tbsp hot water from the kettle, then pour in the oil in a steady stream, mixing constantly (use a hand blender for this) until it forms an emulsion. Break the endive (chicory) heads into spears, slice them if eating with a knife and fork, put in a large bowl, add the parsley and croutons and pour the dressing over. Mix, then pile onto 4 plates

Know-how

If you like a mild dressing, use just 2 tbsp red wine vinegar. If you want to eat the salad with your fingers, leave the endive spears (called chicory in the UK) whole.

    It doesn't tell you how much vinegar to add. so not very helpful unless you like the mild version

    I used around 3 tbsp of vinegar (since it's not included in the ingredients list). This is a very strong flavoured dish - really tasty. I put the chicory in a tortilla wrap with grilled chicken for a gorgeous and quick dinner!

    I halved the recipe. As it doesn't say how much vinegar, I added one tablespoon of vinegar and on the advice of an Italian friend I added a dash of soya sauce to the dressing. It gives it a softer taste that I like with the endive.
