Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This salad had some wonderful flavors. Sautéing the apples in the warm vinaigrette elevated their flavor, which paired beautifully with the frisee, watercress, walnuts and Rogue Creamery blue cheese. The timing for the vinaigrette was way off. It took much much longer to reduce a quart of fresh OJ to 1/4 cup (up to 1 1/2 hours, not 25 minutes) and it was so sticky that it resisted blending well with remaining ingredients. I added grated orange rind to kick up the flavor but still not as flavorful a dressing as I would have liked. All the other elements worked well though.
