NOTES
1. Raisins - Soak the raisins in hot water for five minutes. This makes them nice and juicy.
2. Ginger Syrup and Honey - The sweeteners of the dressing. Use ginger syrup and no fresh ginger (not even in cubes) as that will become predominant. You can also replace these liquid sweeteners with, for example, maple syrup or golden syrup.
3. Substitutes
Cheese - use a Gouda cheese. You can also replace it with Feta or blue cheese.
Apple - A deliciously sweet apple. For Eg Jonagold or Pink Lady tastes great in this salad. You can also replace it with wedges of tangerine or half grapes. If you slice the apples in advance sprinkle them with some lemon juice, to prevent browning.
4. Delicious with - A chicory salad with apple is delicious with the BBQ. Or serve it next to a meat or fish dish. The fresh taste goes well with this.
5. Storage - You can prepare this salad one day in advance, but don't add the walnuts just yet (they'll get soft and that's a shame). Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
