- 15 minutes
- 4 servings
This salad is an adaptation of the ‘ensalada de manzanas con Murcia al Vino’ recipe which is a traditional Spanish salad originating from Murcia. This version gets an added touch of sweetness from orange blossom honey and uses an artisanal goat’s and sheep’s milk cheese that is made with red wine mixed with the milk - rather than the traditional Murcia al Vino which is soaked in red wine to color the rind. The contrast of colors, textures and flavors is both stunning and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1fresh lemon, halved
- 5oz red wine infused cheese, cut into ½-¾-inch pieces
- 1tbsp shallot, peeled and finely diced
- 3tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1tbsp orange blossom honey
- 2Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into ½-¾-inch pieces
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 16roasted hazelnuts or 8 walnuts, chopped
- Mixed salad greens for serving
Preparation
STEP 1
In a mixing bowl, toss the cut apple pieces and juice from half of the lemon together. Set aside while you make the dressing.
STEP 2
Make the dressing by whisking the shallot, honey, vinegar, and juice from remaining half of lemon in a bowl. Slowly stir in the olive oil to emulsify it with the vinegar mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
STEP 3
Add cheese cubes to the apples and toss with the dressing. Arrange lettuce, dressed apples and cheese on a platter or individual bowls or plates and sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Drizzle any remaining dressing from the bowl over the salads.
Serve immediately with a glass of Spanish white or rosé wine.
