ENDIVE AND APPLE SALAD

Endive and Apple Salad image

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."
