thank you so much for this tip as sometime i do not get all the water out of the lettuce and this changes the salad. i will try to find the spinner thanks

I assembled this salad on a huge platter in the kitchen but tossed it in the dining room because I wanted everyone to see how beautiful it looked. I had 8 adults and 2 children and they all oohed and aahed at the appearance but better yet they all raved about the taste. I had expected to taste the bitterness of the endive but it blended so beautifully with the rest of the ingredients. We have salad 7 nights a week and my husband wanted to make the dressing again for tonight but alas - we were out of basil and mint. I highly recommend this salad and will be making it again and again.

This was such a delicious, refreshing salad! I added chicken for some protein and it made a perfect summer meal. I'll DEFINITELY be making this again...thanks!
