For the chicory salad with apples, mix the sour cream with honey, lemon juice, a little ground ginger and safflower oil. Divide chicory into individual leaves, wash briefly in lukewarm water, then in cold water. Arrange 3 chicory boats per plate.
Cut remaining chicory into strips and spread on the boats. Stir the apple cubes into the cream marinade and drizzle over the chicory. Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives. Decorate the chicory salad with apples by placing carrot strips on top.
