    Prepare vinaigrette & let stand at least 30 minutes at room temperature. In a jar, combine all ingredients for dressing & shake until well mixed.

    NOTES : Authors notes:
    This saalad is unbelievably pretty, with pale, pale green endive & scarlet bell peppers cut in ever so skinny slivers. The salsa can be made hours or even days in advance.
