Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 heads endive
- 1 large apple
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the walnuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
Trim the ends of the endive heads and gently separate the leaves. Rinse them under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and arrange them in a large salad bowl or platter.
Core the apple and slice it into thin wedges. To prevent browning, toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a small bowl.
In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Scatter the toasted walnuts and apple slices over the endive leaves.
Drizzle the Dijon vinaigrette evenly over the salad, ensuring all components are lightly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy this crisp, nutty, and tangy endive salad with apple and walnuts.
