Smoked trout and endive salad

By Lauren Haddad-Olivet

This seasonal salad uses the first radishes of spring, the last apples of autumn, smoked trout from the winter, and the bitter endives that see us from winter to late spring. The recipe was posted by Michigan-born blogger who now lives in Switzerland, Lauren Haddad-Olivet. But the original recipe was conceived by her grand-père Loulou who used to say, “Une année c’est comme une glace à l’eau, ça fond vite.”
