A crunchy, tangy, creamy concoction to celebrate fall’s apple harvest.

  • Total Time: 20

Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing

  • 60 ml or 2 oz apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp minced shallot
  • 57 g or 2 oz mayonnaise
  • 15 ml or 1 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1½ tsp honey
  • 1½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 90 ml or 3 oz extra virgin olive oil

For the salad

  • 1 Fuji Apple
  • 1 Granny Smith Apple
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 head frisée lettuce, washed and trimmed (you will have some left over)
  • 1/3 c thinly sliced celery
  • 85 g or ½ c crumbled goat cheese
  • 75 g or ½ c toasted walnuts
  • fresh parsley and celery leaves for garnish

Instructions

Make the dressing

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and salt. Let the salt dissolve. Add the shallots and let stand about 15 minutes to combine the flavours.
  2. Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk and honey, whisking to combine. Whisking constantly, add the olive oil and mix until smooth and creamy. Chill for at least an hour. Vinaigrette can be stored, refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Assemble the salad

  1. Slice the Fuji apple and Granny Smith Apple approximately 1/8″ thick with a sharp knife or mandoline. Combine the apple slices, approximately 1/3 c of the Creamy Apple-Cider Vinaigrette, salt, sugar, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Set aside.
  2. To serve, divide and layer apple slices, frisée, celery and 1/4 c goat cheese on 4 plates—divide remaining 1/4 c goat cheese and walnuts among salads.
  3. Serve immediately with the remaining 2/3 c of dressing.
  4. Garnish with parsley and celery leaves, if desired.
