Preparation:
Combine all the above ingredients in a large jar or bottle and shake together vigorously.
Store in the refrigerator.
The longer the dressing sits, the smoother and more tasty it becomes.
Serving Suggestion:
David's favorite salad is simply endive that is pulled apart or chopped into little rings.
Rinse the leaves in cool water and air dry, or put the leaves in the refrigerator to dry--this creates a firmer leaf.
Once the endive is separated or chopped, dried, and chilled, arrange the leaves on salad plates.
Another way to have endive as a starter is to use the whole leaves that have been separated, rinsed, and chilled.
Thinly spread the leaves with a mixture of cream cheese and finely chopped green olives and pimiento pieces.
Or sprinkle the chilled leaves with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and crumble on bleu cheese and finely chopped walnuts.
For toppings, my favorite combination is a simple one of chopped walnuts and a few raisins or sultanas and 1 or 2 splashes of the dressing.
However, quite often I dress it up with chopped orange sections and bleu or goat cheese crumbles.
Also tasty (when in season) are chopped seedless grapes, chopped cranberries, or chopped apples--or whatever tart ingredients are around!
In any combination, this dressing makes a tasty, refreshing, and light starter that's suitable for party platters. Enjoy!
