ENDIVE, APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD
This classic French combination makes a great autumn and winter salad. Walnuts and apples are always a good mix, and their flavors contrast nicely with the bitter endive. Gruyère cheese has a nutty flavor and adds a bit of protein, as well.

ENDIVE AND APPLE SALAD
This salad came to The Times from Kathryn Anible, a personal chef in New York, whose solution to adding color to your winter table lies in this fresh, crunchy salad. "I just like it because the endive is not frequently used in salads, and it tends to be a little bitter," she said. "The apple sweetens it up a little bit and makes it more approachable. It has a nice crunchy, fresh texture."

WINTER CITRUS SALAD WITH BELGIAN ENDIVE
Late winter really is the time for the best citrus. Produce markets have piles of blood oranges, as well as navel and cara cara oranges and grapefruit, the flesh of each in different vivid brilliant colors. For this salad, use as many kinds of citrus as possible. If you can find pomelos, they add their own kind of sweet tanginess. The combined flavor of sweet and sour citrus, fruity olive oil and coarse salt is seductive.

Steps:
- Peel the citrus: With a serrated knife, cut off top and bottom of the fruit, so it sits solidly on the cutting board. Cut top to bottom following fruit's curve to remove peel and white pith. Slice the oranges and grapefruit horizontally into 1/8-inch rounds and place them in a bowl. Save the accumulated juice in the bowl for the vinaigrette.
- Make the vinaigrette: Combine the shallots with red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, then whisk in the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the reserved citrus juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the endives crosswise into 1-inch thick ribbons (but slice the dense core thinner) and place in the center of a salad plate.
- Surround the endive with citrus slices. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients: Crisp Belgian endive, crunchy apples, and plump cranberries are essential for a flavorful and visually appealing salad.
- Prepare the endive properly: Trim the root ends and remove any damaged or bruised leaves. Cut the endive into desired shapes, such as thin strips or quarters.
- Slice the apples thinly: Thinly sliced apples provide a delicate texture and allow the flavors of the dressing to penetrate.
- Use a variety of nuts: A combination of walnuts, pecans, and almonds adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the salad.
- Make the cranberry vinaigrette in advance: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the vinaigrette in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Toss the salad gently: Use a light hand when tossing the salad to prevent the delicate endive leaves from tearing.
