                    A wintery salad that landed in my inbox that I'm posting here for safekeeping. It will be part of my Thanksgiving menu this year. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                4 cups romaine lettuce hearts, thinly sliced  |  
                                                2 heads belgian endive, cored and thinly sliced  |  
                                                1 fennel bulb, trimmed, cored, quartered and thinly sliced  |  
                                                1 small radicchio, cored, quartered and thinly sliced  |  
                                                1 red apple, cored and cut into matchsticks  |  
                                                1 cup radish, thinly sliced  |  
                                                fresh ground pepper, to taste  |  
                                                1 small shallot, peeled and quartered  |  
                                                1/4 cup champagne vinegar or 1/4 cup white wine vinegar  |  
                                                1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil  |  
                                                1 tablespoon dijon mustard  |  
                                                3/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                fresh ground pepper  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Make vinaigrette: Combine ingredients in blender for a smooth, creamy consistency or mince shallot finely, combine all ingredients in a bowl & whisk well. 2.
