Dressing:

8 ounces heavy cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon white sugar

1 medium head Belgian endive, leaves separated
½ orange, juiced
½ head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces

Prepare the dressing the day before serving by combining cream, lemon juice, sugar, salt, white pepper, and marjoram in a small bowl. Mix well, making sure salt and sugar are dissolved. Cover and store in the refrigerator for 16 hours.
