Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons walnut oil
2 Granny Smith apples
1 beet, trimmed and peeled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped candied walnuts

Steps:

Whisk the shallots, vinegar, mustard, honey, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the walnut oil, whisking constantly to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
With a mandoline or the julienne blade of a food processor, shred the apples and beet into long thin matchsticks.
Spread the beets out on a serving platter and top with the apples. Drizzle the vinaigrette over top and sprinkle with the chives, parsley, walnuts, salt and pepper. Toss together right before serving.
