Mussels vinaigrette with endives is a classic French dish that combines the briny flavor of mussels with the slightly bitter taste of endives. This refreshing salad is perfect for a summer meal, but can be enjoyed all year round. The key to a great mussels vinaigrette is using fresh, high-quality mussels. Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a glossy, black shell. Once you have your mussels, you can prepare the salad in just a few minutes. Simply steam the mussels until they open, then remove the meat from the shells. Combine the mussels with endives, a vinaigrette dressing, and your favorite herbs and spices. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Steps:
- Clean the mussels using a sharp knife. Remove any barnacles, dirt or beards: the tough threads that sometimes stick out of the shell. Pull them out using your fingers.
- Then rinse the mussels and let them drain. Combine the tomato, capers, chopped parsley and chopped garlic. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt.
- Stir well. Then add the vinegar and olive oil to the tomato.
- Stir again. Then let the tomato bruschetta marinate for 10 minutes. Put it aside in the fridge to chill until needed later on. Pour a glass of water in a medium saucepan and add the bay leaf. Season with a pinch of pepper and salt.
- Place the pan over high heat until boiling, then add the mussels. Stir well and put a lid on the pan. Cook the mussels for 3 to 4 minutes. In the end all of the mussels should have opened their shells.
- Then take the pan off the heat, drain the mussels and place them on a clean chopping board or plate to cool down.
- Now rip off one of the shells of the mussels (discard them) and then loosen the cooked mussel from the other remaining shell using a sharp knife. Then place the mussels on a clean plate and top with the freshly made vinegar tomato bruschetta. Sprinkle with a last dash of pepper and salt. Serve chilled.

MUSSELS VINAIGRETTE WITH ENDIVES
Steps:
- Discard any mussel shells that do not open. Open the remaining, extract the mussels and put them in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Trim the root ends of both endives and separate them into leaves. Rinse in a pan of cool water and place dripping in one layer on a soft kitchen towel. Roll up like a jelly roll, place in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. These first 2 steps can be done the day before or early in the morning. For the vinaigrette, put the mustard in the bowl of a food processor with the onion, shallots, and parsley. Cut the hard-cooked egg into chunks and add to the processor. Pulse/chop until mixture is almost a paste, then with motor running pour the olive oil in a thin steady stream through the feed tube until mixture emulsifies and thickens. Pour the sauce over mussels and toss to coat evenly. Arrange the endive leaves in a sunburst pattern on a large round platter with pointed ends facing outward, on a large round platter. Place a sauced mussel on the wide part of each leaf. To eat, pick up each leaf by the pointed end and eat the sauced mussel with the wide end of the leaf. * The mussels may be steamed as a courtesy at the seafood department in much the same way shrimp is steamed. Just make sure they are not steamed more than 4 minutes, or until shells open. Cool before using.

- Again remove open ones. Repeat twice more. Discard any mussels that have not opened.
- When cool enough to handle, remove and discard the empty shells. (Mussels can be cooked in advance and refrigerated.) Shortly before serving, arrange mussels on a bed of shredded lettuce on a serving platter.

Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels that are tightly closed and have a shiny, black shell. Avoid any mussels that are open or have cracked shells.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Scrub the mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a sharp knife to remove the beard (a small, fibrous tuft) from the side of each mussel.
- Cook the mussels until they are just cooked through: Overcooking will make the mussels tough and rubbery. Cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until the shells have opened.
- Serve the mussels immediately: Mussels are best served hot, so prepare all of the other ingredients before cooking the mussels. Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
