4 head(s)	chicory
1 bunch(es)	watercress, rinsed and dried, leaves only

2 tbsp	Dijon mustard

Instructions

Chicory in the UK is also known as endive in some countries, and refers to the yellow-green variety. A purple-red or sometimes red with green stalks form is known as radicchio, a little more bitter, may be used alone or in combination, although it is larger and you would probably need 1 small to medium or about half of a larger one.

Remove the leaves from the chicory until the centre is reached. Slice the centre vertically into two. Layer the leaves in a salad bowl alternating with orange slices, and finish with orange slices.

Shortly before serving, mix the mustard and mayonnaise together with a whisk in a jug or bowl. Slowly add the cream beating well and season to taste. Add to salad and toss together at the table and serve.
