Endive, Apple and Kasha Salad image

Nutty, earthy grains of kasha go beautifully with crunchy, juicy apples and bitter endive, long a favorite salad combo. Cut the apple into small dice - 1/4 to 1/2 inch - to maximize this marriage of grain, fruit, nut and bitter salad green. The acid to oil quotient in the dressing is on the low side; I use lemon juice only and sweeten the mix with a little honey. You could also use agave nectar, and leave out the Gruyère in the salad for a vegan version; though I love the Gruyère here because it, too, has a nutty flavor. This salad holds up well on a buffet.

This salad is disgusting. I threw it away after one bite.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the kasha is too chewy.

I found the kasha to be a bit too chewy. I think I'll cook it for a little less time next time.

This salad is a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. The flavors really meld together after a few hours in the fridge.

This salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of endive, apple, and kasha was unexpected but worked perfectly together. The dressing was also very tasty and complemented the salad nicely.
