Endive salad with ginger

Ingredients (serves 4):

4 endives

2 crisp apples (Golden, Gala or Pink Lady)

80 g walnut kernels

100 g blue cheese or fresh goat’s cheese (optional)

1 teaspoon of ground ginger

3 tablespoons of walnut oil or olive oil

1 tablespoon of cider vinegar

1 teaspoon of honey

Salt and pepper

Method:

Remove any damaged leaves from the endives, then slice them thinly.

Wash the apples, cut them into quarters and then into thin slices.

Coarsely chop the walnuts.

In a bowl, make the dressing by mixing together the oil, cider vinegar, honey and ground ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the endives, apples and walnuts in a salad bowl. Add the cheese if using.

Pour over the dressing, toss gently and serve immediately.

Tasty tip:

ground ginger adds a fresh, slightly lemony note that perfectly balances the bitterness of the endives and the sweetness of the apples.

Crisp, fresh and full of flavour, this endive salad with apples, walnuts and ginger is the ideal accompaniment to light summer meals. 🌞🥗🍏
