directions

  • Have previously washed your lettuces and spun dry, or put in a large, clean pillow case and swung over your head for a few seconds (this really works! The centrifugal force gets the water off the leaves and the pillow case absorbs it- don't let anyone see you doing this- they'll think you're insane).
  • Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Combine the lettuces in a large bowl and toss well.
  • Add the apples and nuts and drizzle with the dressing.
  • Toss again.
  • Using a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife, shave curls off if a wedge of parmesan over the top (be generous!).
  • Serve at once as the lettuce will start to wilt with time.

  1. This is a very nice salad. I used toasted almonds in place of walnuts. I loved the tartness of the salad dressing with the sweetness of the apples. Simple and lovely. Thank you evelyn!
     
  2. A wonderful combination of ingredients. I did cheat a bit, using a similar vinaigrette but otherwise made the salad as directed. Loved the parmesan curls.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
