How to Make Apples And Walnuts With Stilton Cheese

  1. In a large bowl, crumble one-third (approximately 1 1/3 ounces) of the Stilton cheese.
  2. Add the olive oil and, using a fork, mash the cheese and oil together until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and continue to mash and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the heavy cream and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create a thick, chunky dressing.
  5. Gently fold in the sliced apples, celery, currants, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Crumble the remaining Stilton cheese and sprinkle it over the salad along with half of the chopped walnuts.
  7. Gently toss to distribute the cheese and walnuts throughout the salad.
  8. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Garnish with the remaining walnuts and fresh celery leaves.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
