I had a salad at a bistro in Hampstead that I loved very much. So I made the same style many times at home and arranged it to fit my tastes. I was never a big fan of smelly blue cheese, but this salad changed that.

Steps

1

Roughly chop the chicory and soak in water to help it retain it's crunchy texture. Drain the water and pat dry.
2

Cut the apple into thick matchstick sized pieces. Soak in salt water to prevent color change, then drain.
3

Roast the almonds in the microwave for 40-60 seconds. (If you have the time, dry-roast in the frying pan.)
4

If you are adding raisins, soak in warm water (and drain before use.)
5

[Dressing] Add all of the ingredients except the yogurt into a bowl. Use a whisk to emulsify and combine well. Once everything has blended together, add the yogurt.
6

If you have a small whisk (meant for sauces?), you can make a small amount of emulsified dressing in a small bowl, so it's pretty convenient.
7

Arrange the chicory, apples, and cheese on a dish. Top with the dressing and sprinkle with the almonds to finish. I garnished the dish with fresh dill, as seen in the photo.
8

You probably can't really tell in the photo, but I added some green raisins. You can divide the salad into small dishes to serve at a party.

This is an apple sold in England. 1 small apple is about 150 g.
