Instructions
Wash and dry the salad greens thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the apple into thin wedges or cubes, leaving the skin on for color and texture. Add the apple slices to the salad greens.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly browned. Allow them to cool before adding to the salad.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into small chunks and add it to the salad.
Slice the red onion into thin rings and scatter them over the salad.
