The sweet juice from the grated apple permeates this crunchy salad, which could be a side dish, but would also make a good light lunch or dinner.

Preparation

  1. Peel the apple, and grate into a wide bowl on the large holes of a box grater. Add the lemon juice, and toss together. Add the fennel, endives, tarragon and feta.
  2. Stir together the vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add to the salad mixture, toss together and serve.
  • Advance preparation: This salad keeps for a few hours, but the apples will make it juicier, which I don’t mind. I’ve enjoyed leftovers the next day.
