Frisée And Apple Salad

PinYummlyShareEmailPrint
Prep Time: 15 mins
Serves 2-4

A cool weather favorite of mine, this frisée and apple salad packs some bright flavors for dull days ahead. I typically harvest fennel and Frisée from my garden around the same, which just so happens to coincide with apple season. The sweet-bitter-licorice notes of these crops together create an irresistible bite when topped with crunchy almonds and a savory celery seed dressing.

While I am a big fan of chicory, my wife isn’t so much. I am constantly trying to find new ways to make these bitter veggies more palatable, and this salad will challenge even staunchest opposers. However, if the taste is really that off-putting some romaine lettuce will have enough crunch to suffice.

Try it served alongside some cod with chanterelle mushrooms to round out a perfect winter meal.


Frisée And Apple Salad


Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup Mayo, (preferably homemade)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, (minced)
  • 1 clove garlic, (minced)
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
  • pinch of salt

salad

  • 1 large head frisée, (or other bitter green like escarole or curly endive, torn into bite size pieces)
  • 1 cup parsley, (or dill, roughly torn)
  • 1/2 bulb fennel, (shaved thinly on a mandolin or straight blade of a box grater)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, (or raisins)
  • 1/2 cup almonds, (toasted and crushed, some saved for topping)
  • 1/2 an apple, (sliced very thinly into wedges)

Instructions

Dressing

  • Toss all of the dressing ingredients into a large bowl and whisk until well combined and smooth. The dressing should be creamy but still drip off a spoon, if it’s too thin add some more mayo. Adjust salt and vinegar to taste.

Salad

  • Add the frisée, parsley, fennel, cranberries, and half of the almonds to the bowl and toss well.
  • Remove handfuls of the salad to individual serving dishes and top with the apple slices, remaining almonds, and a crack pepper if wanted.
