  • serves 2 people
  • preparation 10 minutes
  • difficulty Easy level

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 120 g green salad leaves (mixed green oak lettuce and butter lettuce leaves)
  • 1 Granny Smith apple
  • 100 g good-quality blue cheese
  • 100 g Epoisse, good-quality goat cheese (or other cheese of your choice)
  • Sourdough baguette, to serve

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or a jug, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to make the salad dressing. Set aside.
  2. Pick through the salad leaves and trim any thick stems or browned leaves, then wash with cold water and spin dry with a salad spinner. Use a mandolin to thinly slice the apple, then transfer the salad leaves and apple to a large serving bowl. Pour over as much salad dressing as you’d like and toss gently to dress.
  3. Serve the green apple salad with a selection of cheeses and sliced sourdough baguette, to serve.
