I recently attended Susan Aretz's book presentation. She presented her third cookbook “borreltijd”. Susan is what you might call a culinary jack-of-all-trades. With her online platform Smulpaapje, she knows how to help many mothers and fathers with nice things recipes voor kids en leuke tips om uit eten te gaan met kinderen. Ik kom Susan regelmatig tegen bij events en veelal heffen we het glas op het leven. Natuurlijk kon een recept uit haar boek niet ontbreken op mijn site. Aan de slag dus met deze appel gemengde noten en witlofsalade. Salade met appel en noten
By the way, this is a recipe from Yvette van Boven, also a topper from “the bizz” with an enviable career! You know her from “cooking with van Boven” on TV. A wonderful no-nonsense cook with good products and little frills. Something I like myself. Unfortunately due to a late delivery from the supermarket to my home, I completely adapted the recipe to the things that were still in my fridge / pantry! So nice and zero-waste and completely approved here because the bowl went empty!
Apple mixed nuts and chicory salad
Of course I hope to have done both ladies honor with this recipe. For credit where credit is due! In this recipe we use ricotta. Ricotta is low in fat and salt. So it is a fairly mild cheese. The word ricotta means "cooked again". Strictly speaking, it is therefore not cheese, but a by-product of cheese. Namely, it is made from the whey left over after it has been separated from the curds to make cheese. Also a “waste product” that has been given a nice second life in this way.
Wil je een wat scherpere smaak aan deze salade geven, dan zou je de ricotta kunnen vervangen door zachte geitenkaas die je kunt halen bij de kaasspeciaalzaak. Deze vervangingen zullen niet alleen een frisse, pittige toets aan de salade geven, maar ook zorgen voor een romige textuur die heerlijk samenkomt met de andere ingrediënten. Bovendien kun je overwegen om enkele verse kruiden zoals basilicum of dille toe te voegen voor een extra laag van aroma en smaak, waardoor je salade echt opvalt bij je diners of lunches.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.
And this is how you make it:

- Roast the mixed nuts in a frying pan for a few minutes. Then finely chop them on a cutting board.
- In a bowl, mix the ricotta with 2 tbsp lemon juice and lemon zest from half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper and stir in half of the mixed nuts.
- Make a dressing from the 3 tbsp walnut oil, juice of 1 lemon, pepper and salt.
- Cut the chicory stalks lengthwise into thin strips and do the same with the apples. You can peel them but you don't have to. Drizzle the juice of half a lemon over the chicory and apple to prevent them from turning brown.
- Add the arugula to the salad and pour over the dressing and mix well. Let stand to marinate.
- Add the soaked bulgur to the salad and add the ricotta mixture. Mix well and sprinkle with the rest of the chopped nuts.
