Belgian Endive and Walnut Salad

By Lidia’s Kitchen

Flavor is obviously crucial in food, and certainly this salad has flavor, but tactile sensation is also a very important factor in our food perception and appreciation. We want pasta al dente, celery crunchy, bread grilled. This salad has a lot of texture to enjoy.

– 1 TEASPOON DIJON MUSTARD
– 1 TEASPOON KOSHER SALT
– FRESHLY GROUND BLACK PEPPER

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and salt, and season with black pepper. Whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream to make a smooth, emulsified dressing.
Toss the endive, apples, and walnuts together in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, toss well, and serve immediately.
