Endives Apples and Walnut salad recipe
- Serves: 2
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
I tasted this salad a few years ago for the first time in France. I have since made some modifications to my mother in law's original recipe. A good wholesome thick piece of fresh bread and butter with this endive salad and you are set for a nutritious and delicious lunch.
