Preparation - 10 minutes

Rinse the lettuce and remove any excess water using a salad spinner. Remove the outer leaves and hard parts of the chicory and divide into small strips.

Peel the apples and cut into thin slices, to prevent them from discolouring you can drizzle the apple slices with lemon juice. Combine a dash of apple cider, a dash of walnut oil and 2 tablespoons crème fraîche in a small bowl and whisk to create a smooth dressing.

Use a nutcracker for the walnuts and crush them into chunks. Chop the chives into quite coarse pieces and set aside. Combine the lettuce and dressing in a large bowl.
