Source of Recipe

LA Times


List of Ingredients

1/2 cup Rice vinegar
1/2 cup Cranberry juice
1/4 cup Minced dried cranberries
1 t Minced shallot
2 tsp Sugar
1/2 tsp Chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp Olive oil
Salt
Cracked pepper
1 Pear
1 Apple
1 Lemon, cut in half
1 Endive, sliced crosswise
5 cups Mixed salad greens
1/4 cup Toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped



Recipe

Combine the rice vinegar, cranberry juice, cranberries, shallot, sugar, rosemary, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Let the dressing stand for the flavors to meld.



Meanwhile, cut the pear into quarters then core and slice. Place the slices in a shallow dish filled with water and the juice of half a lemon; the liquid should cover the fruit. Cut the apple into quarters, core and slice. Place the slices in a shallow dish with water and the juice of the remaining lemon half to cover.



Just before serving, drain the pears and apples. Toss together in a large bowl with the endive and salad greens. Arrange the salad on a platter and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts. Serve the dressing alongside.
