The inspiration for my dish came from my summer love, Insalata Caprese (Salad in the style of Capri). So I thought it only fitting that I attempt to translate my winter version of Insalata Caprese into Italian...I gave it my best shot. I hope those of you fluent in Italian are not beating yourself over the head with a frying pan saying how I have butchered the Italian language.:) Anywho, I loved the idea of grilling the apples-using an indoor grill of course, because there is no way I am heading out in the 10 degree temperature right now (that is right it is even cold in Alabama)-and adding slices of warm brie to make a type of winter 'Insalata Caprese'. I topped the salad off with a nice handful of bright green watercress, toasted walnuts and a light, yet flavorful thyme-honey drizzle. I hope this salad warms your heart this winter as much as Insalata Caprese warms mine in the summer. *I have provided three plating ideas in my photos. Two use walnuts and the other one does not. - Table9
