Blond Restaurant, Long Island

Frisée is the spiky disagreeable pale green stuff that comes in many mixed salads. I tend to pick it out of my salad or avoid it altogether. Blond makes an entire appetizer out of it. Check out the frisée salad with Canadian bacon, pecan, cheese (maybe gouda) and apple slivers with a homemade vinaigrette and a dribble of balsamic vinegar. Oh yes, please!
