1 tablespoon apple cider
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 Red Delicious apples
2 Belgian endives, 2 inches cut from the tips and reserved for garnish and the remainder cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
6 cups loosely packed watercress sprigs, rinsed and spun dry
3 tablespoons crumbled sliced almonds

Steps:

In a bowl whisk together the cider, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the mustard, the
shallot, the Worcestershire sauce, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, add
the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Let
the dressing stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
In another bowl toss the apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, with 2
tablespoons of the dressing. In a large bowl toss together the endive slices and
the watercress with the remaining dressing and divide the watercress mixture among
the 6 salad plates. Top the watercress with the apples and the almonds and garnish
the plates with the reserved endive tips.
