Holiday Salad

Prep Time: 15 min
Level: Easy
Yield: 4 servings


Ingredients


2 lemons, juiced, plus 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 medium heads Belgian endive, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch circles
1 medium green apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 pound Gruyere cheese, rind removed and diced into 1-inch cubes
1/2 avocado, diced into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons dried cranberries, or the seeds of 1 small pomegranate
2/3 cup defrosted corn kernels or 1/2 ear corn, cooked and kernels removed


Directions

In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil. Set aside.


Put the endive and apples into a large decorative serving bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the bowl and toss to coat the endive and apples so they don't turn brown. Add the cheese and avocado, and then add the cranberries and corn.


Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss to coat.

Cheese and Rosemary Breadsticks

Cook Time: 12 min
Level: Easy
Yield: 2 dozens


Ingredients

* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
* 1/3 cup grated Gruyere
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
* 1 (11-ounce) container refrigerated breadstick dough
(recommended: Pillsbury)
* Finely ground sea salt, optional


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or
parchment paper. In a food processor, chop the Parmesan, Gruyere and
rosemary together until coarsely chopped. Set the cheese mixture
aside. Separate the dough strips. Using a pizza cutter or a large
sharp knife, cut each dough strip in half lengthwise to form thin
strips. Working with dough strip at a time, coat each strip with the
cheese mixture, pressing very gently. Twist each cheese covered dough
strip and place onto prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with the salt,
if you wish.


Bake until the breadsticks are golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer the warm breadsticks to a basket and serve.
