Note
A simple salad that makes full use of seasonal English apples and walnuts; the salty Blue Stilton cheese adds a wonderful richness and texture to the salad which is all bound together with a sweet walnut oil and cider apple dressing. Perfect as a light supper or luncheon dish or as an accompaniment. (This salad was inspired and adapted from a recipe by my friend Zuri)
