Sorrel and Endive Salad / Insalata d'Acetosella ed Indivia

Lemon-flavored sorrel is an herb that is used sparingly in Italian cooking. In this recipe, its dark green leaves are combined with Belgian endive to provide a pleasing color contrast as well as a refreshing taste enhanced by a lemon and mustard dressing. Sorrel, from the spinach family, is available in the spring.
