Chicories tend to be strong and bitter tasting. You typically find them sauteed or wilted, but it's best to eat them raw, tossed with a warm, slightly sweet vinaigrette and crisp apples.

4 tablespoons Warm Apple Thyme Dressing

1 pound mixed chicories (endive, radicchio, curly endive, frisee, dandelion), trimmed and washed

Freshly ground black pepper

Place the dressing in a large bowl. Add the chicories and toss to coat. Season with pepper and serve.
