Points to keep in mind

Fresh Curly Endive:

Ensure the curly endive is fresh and free from wilted or discolored leaves. Wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or contaminants.

Proper Tearing Technique:

Use a gentle tearing technique to avoid bruising or damaging the leaves while tearing the curly endive into pieces.

Onion Handling:

Handle and chop the onion carefully to avoid eye irritation. Use proper cutting techniques and consider wearing protective eyewear if necessary.

Lemon Zest and Juice:

Use fresh lemons for zest and juice. Wash and scrub lemons before zesting to remove any wax or residue.

Honey Quality:

Check the freshness and quality of honey. If it has crystallized, gently warm it to restore its liquid consistency.

Oil Quality:

Use a high-quality oil, such as extra virgin olive oil, for the dressing. Store oil in a cool, dark place to prevent it from becoming rancid.
