Belgian Endive and Beetroot Salad image

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.

1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper

Steps:

I'm not a big fan of endive, but I really liked it in this salad. The bitterness was balanced out by the sweetness of the beets and the tanginess of the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few extra beets after I make borscht.

I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead. They worked just as well.

The dressing was a bit too tart for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by adding a little bit of honey.
