Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups raw walnut halves
  • 1/2 cup hulled pumpkin seeds
  • 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Chili flakes, to taste
  • 6 cups assorted salad greens
  • 2 cups curly endive (frisée)
  • 1 to 2 apples or pears, chopped
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 2 cups pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup crumbled cheese (blue, goat, or feta)
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine walnut halves and pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and chili flakes. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Cool completely.
  2. In a small bowl or mason jar, combine Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), and chipotle powder. Whisk together. Gradually drizzle in the 1/3 cup olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Season with salt and chili flakes to taste. Add water or vinegar if too thick.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine assorted salad greens and curly endive. Gently toss.
  4. Add chopped apples or pears to the salad bowl. Artfully arrange sliced avocados over the greens. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top.
  5. Drizzle about half of the honey mustard dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss to coat. Add more dressing as needed.
  6. Crumble the chosen cheese over the top of the salad. Serve immediately.
