Apple, Raspberry, and Frisée Salad


Apple, Raspberry, and Frisée Salad

Serves 6 / A colorful marriage of end-of-summer raspberries and early-crop apples. Ingredient tips: Frisée, a frilly, slightly bitter green lettuce, is sold in heads like regular lettuce; mâche, a delicately nutty, rosette-shaped lettuce, can be found in clear containers in the produce section. Adjust the proportion of each to suit your taste, to total 8 cups greens.

Dressing
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Salad:
3 cups frisée
5 cups mâche
1 sweet-tart red apple (such as Gala or Braeburn), cored and sliced
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) crumbled goat cheese
2-3 tablespoons toasted chopped pecans

1. Mix all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. In a large salad bowl, combine frisée, mâche, apple, raspberries, goat cheese, and pecans. Drizzle with about three-fourths of the dressing and toss gently.
