Witloof salad with apple in a bowl
The result: a fresh raw witloof salad with apple.

Ingredients

  • 4 heads of witloof
  • 2 apples (such as Elstar or Jonagold)
  • 50 g walnuts
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • pepper and salt

Method

  1. Cut out the bitter cone at the base of the witloof, then slice into thin rings or separate the leaves.
  2. Dice the apples and toss them straight away with a little lemon juice so they do not turn brown.
  3. Toast the walnuts for 2 to 3 minutes in a dry pan and break them into pieces.
  4. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice or vinegar, mustard and honey, and season with pepper and salt.
  5. Toss the witloof, apple and walnuts with the dressing and serve straight away.

Tip. For extra bite, add some blue cheese or goat's cheese.
