Belgian Endive Salad with Apples, Toasted Walnuts, and Fig Vinaigrette
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
10 Belgian endives, cores removed and sliced
lengthwise into thin strips
2 Fuji or Pink Lady apples, peeled, cored, and cut into thin strips
Dressing
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar salt and freshly
ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup dried figs, finely chopped
If you can't find white balsamic then use the regular.
Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the walnuts and toss gently for about 2 to 3 minutes,until they begin to brown lightly and become fragrant.
Remove from the heat. In a salad bowl, combine the endive and apple strips. Sprinkle over the walnuts.
To make the dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the
mustard, vinegars, and salt and pepper. Whisking
constantly, slowly add the oil until incorporated. Stir in the figs. Taste for seasoning. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat well.
Serve on salad plates. Serves 6.
