For the dressing, add garlic and fresh ginger to taste, finely sliced.

Squeeze grapefruit juice into the dressing as a substitute for lemon juice.

Mix the dressing ingredients together until well combined.

Chop fresh herbs like cilantro and add them to the salad.

Slice half a jalapeno finely and add it for spiciness.

Grate some fresh turmeric into the dressing for added flavor.

Combine the chopped endive, avocado, and herbs in a bowl.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix gently to combine.
