Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small head frisee or escarole
2 large heads Belgian endive
1 bulb fennel
1 leek, split lengthwise and thoroughly washed
1 stalk celery
1/2 cup whole hazelnuts
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons hazelnut oil

Steps:

  • Tear frisee into medium pieces. Separate endive leaves. Quarter fennel bulb and slice as thinly as possible, using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Slice one half of leek thinly crosswise, reserving other half for another use. Peel celery and slice paper thin on the diagonal. Refrigerate vegetables in covered bowls until ready to use.
  • Toast hazelnuts at 350 degrees until skins blister and they give off a nutty aroma. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and, when cool enough to handle, rub off skins. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly add the oil.
  • Toss each vegetable separately with a little dressing, and arrange on cold plates. Crush hazelnuts lightly with the back of a knife and sprinkle over each salad. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal ingredients.
  • If you can't find white grapes, you can substitute another type of grape, such as green or red grapes.
  • If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use dried rosemary. Just be sure to use less, as dried rosemary is more concentrated.
  • You can add other ingredients to this salad, such as chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, or crumbled goat cheese.
  • This salad is best served immediately after it is made, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

This winter white salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of winter. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for a holiday meal.
