    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 chicory head
    • 1 red apple
    • 2 clementines
    • 30 gram mature cheese
    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 1 teaspoon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon honey
    • 0,5 lemon

    • pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Remove the bitter stalk from the chicory and finely chop the leaves. Sprinkle with some lemon juice.
    • Peel the apple and cut it into quarters. Remove the cores and cut into larger blocks. Mix the apple cubes under the chicory and sprinkle with the rest of the lemon juice.
    • Peel the Clementines and remove as much of the white as possible. Cut each segment in half. Add them to the chicory salad.
    • Also finely chop the walnuts and cheese and add to the salad.

    • You can add additional seasoning with pepper, if desired.

    Variations on this chicory salad with autumn fruits

    Of course you can make many variations on this chicory salad with autumn fruits. I'd even say it's meant to be! So look in your fridge and fruit bowl and make a nice autumn lunch with it. That's also how this salad came about.

    Chicory (Belgian endives) and apple are two protagonists in this lunch. Not coincidentally surplus of the chicory-apple salad (I always buy too much of everything). I also use a sweeter apple for this salad, in this case Pink Lady. In the article about the chicory-apple salad, you can read which other apple varieties are perfect for these types of dishes.

    I prefer to use old or mature cheese with a strong taste in this type of dishes, genre Old Amsterdam. Are you not like that? Then you can also use a milder cheese, or omit the cheese completely. You can take cheese shells, or cut a block into fine pieces.

    I think a hearty piece of dark bread is a perfect accompaniment to this lunch. And in that area, I'm definitely a fan of rye bread. Of course you can also eat a French baguette with it. But for me that's more something for the weekend. And this chicory salad with autumn fruits is primarily intended for weekdays. Rather to recover from a culinary weekend.

    Do I have to buy clementines to make this chicory salad with autumn fruits?

    No, you don't necessarily have to include clementines in this lunch. You might as well take tangerines or oranges instead. It is best to cut the segments of the latter into three or four. I do think that these citrus fruits play a necessary role in this dish: they bring some extra sweet juiciness to the whole.

    Clementine or tangerine? What’s the difference?

    Clementine and tangerines are both different types of mandarines. In general clementines are a bit smaller, sweeter and easier to peel. Trivia: tangerines are named after Tangier, the port in Morocco from where they are mostly shipped. You want to study the differences in detail?
