Ingredients

Endive (2 heads, separated into leaves)
Avocado (1 large, sliced)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Red onion (1/4 small, thinly sliced)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

Begin by preparing the salad base: in a large bowl, combine the separated endive leaves, sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
Next, prepare the vinaigrette: in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad components in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve the salad immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients, and feel free to garnish with additional cherry tomatoes or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor.
