Endives and thinly sliced apple are tossed with fresh herbs and toasted pine nuts in a simple vinaigrette for a light, crunchy and refreshing winter salad. The bitter flavour and crisp texture of Belgian endive pairs particularly well with sweet tart apple and nutty pinenuts. I have also added some chicken skin cracklings, a delicious by-product of making schmaltz, for extra flavour and crunch. You can use croutons or bacon instead.

- In a bowl, whisk together the argan oil, olive oil, lemon juice, zest, wholegrain mustard, salt and pepper.
- Pull the leaves from the endive heads, cutting at the base as needed to remove them. Rinse under cold water, and drain well. Quarter the apple, then slice the quarters very thinly.
- Toss the endives and apple slices with the dressing in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle the fresh parsley, and chives over, then top with the toasted pinenuts and chicken cracklings. Serve immediately.
