| 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or walnut oil, for dressing | 1 1 Newtown Pippin, Granny Smith, Stayman Winesap, or other tart apple, unpeeled, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced lengthwise | |
| Salt and pepper, for dressing | 1 Fuji, Pink Lady, eastern Golden Delicious, McIntosh, or other sweet apple, unpeeled, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced lengthwise | |

To make the dressing, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
To make the salad, combine the radicchio, endive, and frisée in a large salad bowl. Toss well. Add the apples and nuts and drizzle with the dressing. Toss again. Using a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife, shave curls of the Cheddar cheese over the top. Serve at once.
