Star Endive Starter
Ingredients
- 2 heads of endive about 3 oz each
- 5 oz smoked mackerel fillet
- 2 oz cucumber
- 1 medium orange
- 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
for the dressing:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

- Flake the mackerel and place in a bowl with the chopped endive.
- Cut the cucumber in 1/4 inch (5 mm) slices and cut each slice in quarters.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange and divide into segments, removing as much membrane as possible and catching any juices which run out during preparation.
