Salad chicory with mustard

6 servings

5 minutes

Mustard chicory salad is an elegant dish of European cuisine, where freshness meets spicy sharpness. Chicory, known for its mild bitterness, perfectly complements the tenderness of watercress. The dressing made from apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil gives the salad a rich, harmonious flavor that blends tartness, spiciness, and light sweetness. The combination of dried cranberries and crunchy walnuts adds a special textural play — they contribute soft fruity sweetness and nutty depth. This salad is perfect as a light appetizer or accompaniment to main dishes.
