In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients. Pour 1/4 cup of dressing over warm taro root. Add herbs and mix gently to avoid breaking up the taro root; cool. Separate belgian endive in leaves. Cut fennel in quarters and separate layers. Slice bell pepper in rings. Thinly slice tomato. Divide chicory in leaves. Cut melon in thin slices, discard seeds, then cut pulp away from peel.
