Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar and lemon juice. Whisk in olive oil slowly until you have an almost creamy consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut endive heads crosswise into rings. Remove the hard end of the stems and discard. Rinse in a colander, shaking to separate the slices into rings. Set aside to drain.
- In a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts. Stir constantly so that they do not burn. Once the pine nuts are golden, throw in the endive rings. Once it has warmed just slightly, pour in the dressing and toss to coat. Reduce the heat slightly if the endive is wilting too quickly. You want to maintain some crispness and texture.
- If you have guests to impress, throw in the parsley. The sharp green flecks will brighten the dish and enhance the flavour, but the salad is in no way lacking without. Serve immediately. It is best served directly from the pan to the plate. If is put in a bowl, the dressing will settle at the bottom and be difficult to toss again without damaging the endive.

WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH BELGIAN ENDIVE
Late winter really is the time for the best citrus. Produce markets have piles of blood oranges, as well as navel and cara cara oranges and grapefruit, the flesh of each in different vivid brilliant colors. For this salad, use as many kinds of citrus as possible. If you can find pomelos, they add their own kind of sweet tanginess. The combined flavor of sweet and sour citrus, fruity olive oil and coarse salt is seductive.

Steps:
- Peel the citrus: With a serrated knife, cut off top and bottom of the fruit, so it sits solidly on the cutting board. Cut top to bottom following fruit's curve to remove peel and white pith. Slice the oranges and grapefruit horizontally into 1/8-inch rounds and place them in a bowl. Save the accumulated juice in the bowl for the vinaigrette.
- Make the vinaigrette: Combine the shallots with red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, then whisk in the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the reserved citrus juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the endives crosswise into 1-inch thick ribbons (but slice the dense core thinner) and place in the center of a salad plate.
- Surround the endive with citrus slices. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.

BELGIAN ENDIVE AND BEETROOT SALAD
My mother used to make endive salad (witlof salade) in different ways; I thought I share them with you. She used to use mayonnaise but I usually use the sour cream. I would think you can use your own favorite dressing on this but I would suggest you make it a creamy one. Use as much dressing on this as you like, the 3 tablespoons are just a guide line. I sometimes cheat and buy the beets in a jar! The amount of this salad depends on the size of the endive and the beets.
