Ingredients

  • ½ red cabbage
  • 1 bulb fennel
  • 1 stick celery
  • 1 (sharp) apple
  • 1 lemon
  • 8 walnuts
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp ground nut
  • 1 tbsp walnut oil
  • 100g/3½oz Stilton

Instructions

  • Finely slice the red cabbage, fennel and celery and combine in a large salad bowl. Slice the apple into discs, lay onto a plate and squeeze a lemon over in order to stop it discolouring.
  • Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan for two minutes and set aside.
  • For the dressing, take a separate bowl and to it add the red wine vinegar, a little salt, some Dijon mustard and both walnut and groundnut oil. Whisk them together.
  • Now toss all the components together in a salad bowl. Crumble over large chunks of Stilton, trickle the dressing and serve with some of the green fronds from the fennel bulb.
