Preparation
- Cut away the outer core of each pepper.
- Bring enough water to the boil in a saucepan to cover the peppers when added. Add the peppers and cook about two minutes, no longer. Remove the peppers but leave the water in the saucepan.
- Using a paring knife, pull off the skin of the red pepper. The green pepper will not skin properly.
- Cut the peppers lengthwise into quarters. Remove any veins and seeds. Cut the quartered peppers into quarter-inch crosswise strips.
- Add the celery to the boiling water and let simmer about 30 seconds. Drain.
- Trim off the base of the endive. Cut the endive crosswise into quarter-inch thick pieces.
- Combine the peppers, mushrooms, celery, endive and scallions in a salad bowl.
- Put the lemon juice and vinegar in a small mixing bowl and gradually beat in the oil and sugar. Beat well with a wire whisk. Pour the sauce over the mushroom mixture. Toss and serve.
