Endive and Chicory Salad With Grainy Mustard Viniagrette
I had the pleasure of making this delicious salad last evening. Tossed in a fabulous country-style dressing, these bitter greens are a wonderful counterpoint to a hearty main course.

- 1/2 garlic clove

- 2 medium Belgian endives (10 oz), sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
- 1/2 lb chicory (French curly endive; 1 head), tough outer leaves discarded and remaining leaves torn into 2-inch pieces (about 9 cups)
Mince garlic with a large heavy knife, then mash to a paste with salt using flat side of knife.
Whisk together garlic paste, mustard, vinegar, and pepper, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
Just before serving, toss greens with vinaigrette.
