Apple and Endive Salad with Walnut Vinaigrette
Ingredients
4 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice

2 tablespoon chopped chives
Black peppercorns, chrushed
1 cup walnuts, lightly toasted, chopped
Sea salt

1. Separate endive leaves; set aside 24 leaves. Slice remaining leaves. 2. Whisk 2 tablespoons orange juice and mustard in small bowl to blend. Whisk in olive oil and walnut oil. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Remove the apples from the water and toss them and remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice in large bowl. 4.
