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
- 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.
- 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.
