APPLE AND WALNUT SALAD



Apple and Walnut Salad image

This apple and walnut salad may be the simplest to make, but with its fresh, crisp greens, apples, and beautifully toasted walnuts, it is just delicious.

Provided by Elaine Lemm

Categories     Side Dish     Entree     Appetizer     Lunch     Salad

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup walnut halves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (good quality)
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 head crisp romaine lettuce
1 rib celery
2 scallions
2 Granny Smith apples

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Place the walnuts on a small baking sheet. Roast on the center oven rack for 7 minutes. The walnuts should be a lovely golden brown color and no darker (if they get too dark, they will become bitter).
  • In a small bowl or a ramekin, combine the olive oil and a little balsamic at a time, whisking as you go until you create a thick, glossy dressing. Taste the dressing and add a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Chop the lettuce into strips and finely slice the celery and scallions. Keep to one side.
  • When you are ready to serve the salad, cut the apples into quarters, then remove the core, slice thickly, and cut the slices in half. You are looking for a nice small chunk of apple.
  • Divide the salad greens and veggies between bowls or assemble in a large serving dish, then sprinkle apples over the top of each. Gently crush the walnuts over each so all the pieces fall onto the salad. Using a teaspoon, drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately.

Provided by Matthew Molus

Categories     Apple

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces Stilton cheese
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons heavy cream (double)
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
6 sweet apples, unpeeled cored and cut into 1/2 inch dice (braeburn, gala, red delicious)
4 stalks celery, thinly sliced (save leaves for garnish)
2 tablespoons dried currants or 2 tablespoons raisins
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Serve right away.
  • TOASTED WALNUTS.
