Apple Cider Salad

This is one of my favorite salads. You can substitute the radicchio here for arugula if you cannot find it, I know it isn’t the easiest to locate.

The Buttered Walnuts or Pecans are the icing on the cake!

Ingredients

Salad

• 2 heads butter lettuce
• 1 head radicchio
• 6-8 radishes, thinly sliced
• 1-1/2 cups crumbed or grated white cheddar cheese

Apple Cider Vinaigrette

• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• juice of 1 lemon

1. Salad: Gently tear butter lettuce and radicchio leaves, placing them in a large bowl.
2. Add the radishes, cheddar, and buttered walnuts/pecans.
