Ingredients

  • 1 cup walnut halves
  • 1 medium head Romaine lettuce
  • 1 large head Radicchio
  • Walnut Oil Dressing (see recipe below)
  • 1 large crisp Yellow Delicious apple
  • 1 large crisp Red Delicious apple
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple

Directions

Toast the walnuts in a 350F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once. Cool. Save half a cup and coarsely chop the other half cup. Set aside. Wash and dry the lettuces. Chill.

Walnut Oil Dressing:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup walnut oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon salt
Dash cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Whisk together until smooth.

Wash the apples and cut them into matchstick-size julienne strips. Toss with 3 tablespoons of the dressing and chill until ready to assemble the salad.

To assemble: Cut the Romaine crosswise into 1" ribbons. Shred the Radicchio into a 1/2" shred. Toss the lettuces with the remaining dressing. Arrange the apples on top of the lettuce. Sprinkle over the chopped walnuts. Garnish with whole walnuts. Serve immediately.
Serves 6 to 8.
