How to Make Apple Walnut Salad With Stilton Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Spread 1/2 cup walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble 1/3 (approximately 4 ounces) of the Stilton cheese.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and mash the cheese and oil together with a fork until creamy.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, continuing to mash and mix until well combined.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix until a thick dressing forms.
  6. Add 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), thinly sliced; 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced; 1/4 cup currants; and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the dressing. Gently toss to combine.
  7. Crumble the remaining Stilton cheese (approximately 8 ounces) over the salad, along with half of the toasted walnuts.
  8. Gently toss to distribute the cheese and walnuts evenly throughout the salad.
  9. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining toasted walnuts and a few celery leaves.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
