FRISEE APPLE SALAD
Crisp curly endive and thin slices of apple in a honey dressing topped with roasted walnuts. Original recipe included 1/2 cup of dried cherries in the dressing but I have omitted them because I have never seen them to buy - perhaps cranberries could be tried. Made it without them anyway and loved it

ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD
This classic French combination makes a great autumn and winter salad. Walnuts and apples are always a good mix, and their flavors contrast nicely with the bitter endive. Gruyère cheese has a nutty flavor and adds a bit of protein, as well.

Steps:
- Remove any damaged outer leaves of the endives and rinse with cold water. Dry with paper towels, then separate the leaves, or slice crosswise, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in a wide salad bowl. Add the walnuts, gruyère, parsley and tarragon.
- Quarter the apple and cut away the core, then slice very thin (you should have at least 16 slices). Place in a bowl of water acidulated with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Whisk together the vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the oils. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Drain the apple slices, dry on paper towels, then add to the salad bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve.

Steps:
- For dressing:
- Whisk mayonnaise, maple syrup, vinegar, and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil until mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before using.)
- For salad:
- Toss greens, apples, cherries, and 1/4 cup walnuts in large bowl to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide salad equally among plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and serve.
Tips:
- Select ripe, crisp apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain their shape and provide a refreshing contrast to the creamy dressing.
- Use high-quality frisee: Look for fresh, bright green frisee with tightly curled leaves. Avoid any wilted or discolored leaves.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nutty crunch to the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad chilled: For the best flavor and texture, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
This frisee and apple salad is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The crisp apples, creamy dressing, and crunchy walnuts come together to create a refreshing and satisfying dish. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover apples. With its vibrant colors and delicious taste, this salad is sure to impress your family and friends.
