Endive and Chicory Salad with Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette

This elegant endive and chicory salad is a sophisticated vegan starter that celebrates the pleasant, bitter notes of winter greens. The combination of crisp Belgian endive and ruffled French chicory provides a wonderful contrast in textures, making it a refreshing palate cleanser or a bold side dish for a Sunday roast. Its vibrant appearance and sharp flavours bring a touch of restaurant-quality dining to your home kitchen.

The secret to this recipe lies in the punchy, homemade wholegrain mustard vinaigrette. By emulsifying the extra-virgin olive oil with red-wine vinegar and fresh garlic paste, you create a silky dressing that perfectly balances the earthy leaves. This light, healthy salad is best assembled at the very last minute to ensure the greens remain perfectly crunchy and fresh.
