Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot

  • 1 tablespoon agava nectar

  • 1/2 cup (generous) dried tart cherries (one 3-ounce package)

  • 1 large head of frisée, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)

  • 1 medium Gala apple, cored, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts

 

Preparation

Whisk first 4 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in dried cherries. Toss frisée and apple slices in large bowl. Add cherry dressing and toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates; sprinkle with walnuts and freshly ground black pepper and serve

Test kitchen tip: The recipe says to season the dressing to taste, but how do you know when you've added enough salt and pepper? It's easy: Just dip a small piece of lettuce (in this case, frisée) into the dressing and try it out.
