INGREDIENTS
FOR THE DRESSING:
1 tablespoon minced shallot
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted chile flakes, pulverized in a mortar
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
¼ cup walnut oil
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
FOR THE SALAD:
3 Honeycrisp or other crisp tart apples, peeled, cored and in 1/2-inch dice
½ medium-size kohlrabi bulb, peeled, in 1/4-inch dice
12 brussels sprouts, bases trimmed, sliced thin vertically
⅓ cup shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
½ cup toasted walnuts
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and ground black pepper
6 ounces fresh ricotta
6 slices serrano ham (about 3 ounces), optional
PREPARATION
Make the dressing:
Combine shallot and vinegar in a small bowl, add chile flakes and beat in mustard and honey. Beat in the walnut and olive oils. Set aside.
Make the salad:
In a large bowl, combine apples and kohlrabi and mix with half the dressing. Fold in brussels sprouts, Parmigiano-Reggiano, walnuts and lemon juice. Add remaining dressing and mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Drop a spoonful of the ricotta on each of six plates. Top with salad, then drape a slice of ham over each portion. Alternatively, salad can be piled into a shallow bowl with spoonfuls of ricotta placed here and there and slices of ham draped over the top for guests to help themselves.
