Tips:

  • Choose the Right Frisée: Select fresh, crisp frisée with vibrant green leaves. Avoid any wilted or discolored leaves.
  • Prepare the Frisée Properly: Thoroughly wash the frisée leaves and pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This helps the dressing adhere better and prevents the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Slice the Apples Thinly: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the apples. This ensures even cooking and a delicate texture in the salad.
  • Make the Dressing in Advance: Preparing the dressing ahead of time allows the flavors to meld and develop. This also saves time when assembling the salad.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The fresher and higher quality the ingredients, the more delicious the salad will be. Choose ripe, flavorful apples and a good quality, extra-virgin olive oil for the dressing.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: Start with a small amount of dressing and toss the salad gently to evenly coat the leaves. You can always add more dressing if needed.
  • Serve Immediately: Frisée and apple salad is best enjoyed fresh. Once dressed, the salad should be served immediately to prevent the frisée from wilting.
