How to Make Apple Endive And Grape Salad

  1. In a large salad bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar.
  2. Season the dressing with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
  3. Add 2 cups thinly sliced apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), 1 head of endive, separated and roughly chopped, 1 cup halved red grapes, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans) to the bowl.
  4. Gently toss everything together until the apples, endives, and grapes are evenly coated in the dressing.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra chopped nuts if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
