Ingredients

1 small radicchio, leaves separated and torn into small pieces
2 heads Belgian endive, leaves separated and torn into small pieces
1 small frisee, tough stems removed and torn into small pieces
1 bunch rocket, torn into small pieces (or roka)
1 tart green apple, such as granny smith,peel left on,thinly sliced
1 sweet red apple, such as fuji,peel left on,thinly sliced
1/2 cup walnut halves, toasted
2 cups parmesan cheese, curls (or more)
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar or 2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil or 1/2 cup walnut oil, plus
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or 1 tablespoon walnut oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Have previously washed your lettuces and spun dry, or put in a large, clean pillow case and swung over your head for a few seconds (this really works! The centrifugal force gets the water off the leaves and the pillow case absorbs it- don't let anyone see you doing this- they'll think you're insane).
Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
Combine the lettuces in a large bowl and toss well.
Add the apples and nuts and drizzle with the dressing.
Toss again.
Using a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife, shave curls off if a wedge of parmesan over the top (be generous!).
Serve at once as the lettuce will start to wilt with time.
