Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cups Walnuts
- 0.5 cups Stilton cheese
- 0.25 cups Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Core the apples and slice them thinly. Optionally, keep the peel on for texture and color. Add the apple slices to the salad bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Allow them to cool slightly before adding to the salad.
Crumble the Stilton cheese into small pieces and sprinkle it over the salad.
In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until emulsified.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, and gently toss all the ingredients to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful Salad of Romaine, Apples, Walnuts, and Stilton Cheese!
