Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 300 degrees. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick liner or parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together egg white and ½ teaspoon salt until frothy. Whisk in sugar, wine, cinnamon and cayenne (if desired) until smooth. Add nuts and toss until they are well coated with egg mixture.
- Step 2
Spread nuts on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The nuts should be glazed and golden at the edges. Let cool. Coarsely chop 1 cup of the nuts (save the rest for noshing).
- Step 3
Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine shallot, vinegar and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and toss well. Let sit for 10 minutes, then whisk in olive oil. Add apples, and toss to coat.
- Step 4
Put endive and arugula in a salad bowl. Add apple mixture and chopped nuts, and toss well. Season to taste with more salt and black pepper, and serve at once.

Totally delicious for noshing...and a really delicious dressing for the arugula (we did not have access to endive here in rural WI, but I will try it again when I get to a city grocery and report back).
I changed up this salad a little with just toasting the walnuts and added fresh goat cheese at the end. Huge hit with my family and dinner guests.
This was so delicious! I couldn’t find endive anywhere so used radicchio instead. The color really livened it up. My salad hating husband even liked it—the dressing was mild, not too vinegary, and he loved the nuts. Only changes were I subbed pecans for walnuts, radicchio for endive and added some feta. Yummers.
Used pecans - delish
This is gorgeous. My friend dislikes Walnuts so I used a mix of pecans and sliced almonds, and I did not have apples so used pears. It was delicious!
