½ cup walnut halves (2 ounces)
1 tablespoon minced shallot
½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
2 ¼ tablespoons walnut oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce (4 ounces)
4 large radishes (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup))
1 ¼ cups chopped celery leaves (from 4 inner ribs plus 1/4 cup chopped celery leaves)
1 small head of frisée (6 ounces coarsely chopped)
¼ cup golden raisins
1 Fuji apple (peeled, quartered, cored and thinly sliced crosswise)
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the walnuts in a pie plate and toast for about 8 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Let the nuts cool, then break into pieces.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the shallot and lemon zest with the lemon juice and vinegar. Whisk in the canola and walnut oils and the cumin. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
Add the shredded romaine lettuce to the bowl along with the toasted walnuts, radishes, sliced celery hearts, celery leaves, chopped frisée, raisins and apple. Toss well and serve right away.
