Mint Pea and Endive Saladby Dawn T in Rouxbe Videos This is a fantastic fresh salad with avocado, endive, romaine lettuce, peas and a beautiful mint and dijon mustard vinaigrette.

Combine dijon, honey and white wine vinegar. Whisk slowly while adding the oil. Then add the freshly chopped mint and basil and finish off with salt and pepper. |

Add the salt to the water and bring to a boil. Add the peas then prepare an ice bath. Once ready, strain the peas and place them into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain peas further on a paper towel. To prepare the endive, cut off the bottom and remove any damaged or discolored outer leaves. Wash the romaine lettuce. This is a salad made in layers. Break up half of the romaine into bite sized pieces. Break the endive into slightly bigger pieces.
Repeat the assembly for another layer: romaine, endive, peas, avocado, dressing. Do not toss until ready to serve.

The dressing can be made in advance, but the salad itself is best assembled just before serving.

thank you so much for this tip as sometime i do not get all the water out of the lettuce and this changes the salad. i will try to find the spinner thanks
I assembled this salad on a huge platter in the kitchen but tossed it in the dining room because I wanted everyone to see how beautiful it looked. I had 8 adults and 2 children and they all oohed and aahed at the appearance but better yet they all raved about the taste. I had expected to taste the bitterness of the endive but it blended so beautifully with the rest of the ingredients. We have salad 7 nights a week and my husband wanted to make the dressing again for tonight but alas - we were out of basil and mint. I highly recommend this salad and will be making it again and again.
