Autumn Greens with Apples, Radishes, and Cheddar Frico

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, slowly add the pumpkinseed oil and then the olive oil in a steady stream until thick and emulsified.

   Step 2

   Slice the apples and radishes on the thinnest setting of a mandoline or with a sharp knife. Place in a serving bowl; add the mixed greens, and toss to combine.

   Step 3

   Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad mixture, and toss well to coat evenly. Serve immediately with Cheddar Frico.

   Step 4

   In a medium bowl, toss together the cheese and flour. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the skillet to form a 4-inch round.

   Step 5

   Cook until the cheese is starting to melt and become firm, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, turn; continue cooking until it is firm and slightly golden, 15 to 30 seconds more.

   Step 6

   Immediately drape the frico over a rolling pin, and let cool slightly to set the shape. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture. If the skillet gets too hot and the frico begin to color too quickly, remove from heat for several minutes before proceeding.
