You can play around with just about every ingredient in this recipe. If Fuji apples aren't in season, use Granny Smith or Golden Delicious or even Bosc, Bartless, or red pears. Use orange juice in place of lemon juice, and use any vinegar you like.
Ingredients
dressing:
2 Tbs rice wine vinegar
2 Tbs almond oil, walnut oil, or EVOO
2 Tbs plain low-fat yogurt
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbs finely grated orange zest
2 tsp fresh lemon or orange juice
salt and pepper
salad:
1 cup walnut pieces
2 cups chopped Fuji apples
2 Tbs chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery hearts
1/2 cup seedless green grapes (whole or halved)
3 leaves Belgian endive leaves for garnish, optional
Technique
Combine all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the apples, walnuts, dill, celery, and grapes.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and stir until blended. If you like, make a triangle of the endive and put the salad in the middle to serve.
