1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons minced peeled gingerroot

1 cup chopped peeled mango
3/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped seeded serrano chili
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 head belgian endive (about 1/4 pound)
2 (1 1/2 lb) lobsters, cooked
8 cups gourmet salad greens
32 slices peeled jicama (9 x 1/2 x 1/8-inch strips)

1. Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well.
