	Endive and Smoked salmon salad. Nice simple combo. Perfect for hot days. For 2 generous servings: 2 heads of endive 2-3 oz of smoked salmon 2 tablespoons of olive oil Juice from 1 lemon Plus the zest from the lemon A few springs of fresh dill A couple of tablespoons of chopped chives Salt & pepper to taste 1.Put the olive oil , lemon juice & zest into a bowl & mix with a fork. 2.Cut off the root end of the endive, remove any bad outer leaves & chop the endive into about 1/2 inch rounds. Separate the rounds well & place in the bowl. 3.Mince the smoked salmon into small pieces & add to the bowl. 4.Chop the dill then add it and the chopped chives to the bowl. 5.Season with salt & pepper. 6.Mix everything very well & let rest for a few minutes. 7.Serve on plates at room temperature & garnish with a spring of dill & a chive flower if available. This turns out to be a nice combination of flavors. Enjoy & let me know what you think if you try it.
