For vinaigrette
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled
1/4 cup sliced almonds
20 red seedless grapes
1 crisp apple such as Fuji
8 ounces mesclun (mixed baby lettuces)

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • In a large bowl whisk together mustard and vinegar. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in tarragon and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a shallow baking pan toast almonds in middle of oven until pale golden, 6 to 8 minutes, and cool. Halve grapes. Core apple and cut into 16 wedges. Add mesclun to vinaigrette and toss to coat well.
  • Divide greens and apple slices among 4 plates and top with grapes, cheese, and almonds.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. I probably won't make it again.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less grapes and apples next time.

I'm not a big fan of Stilton cheese, so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover greens, and it's also very healthy.

This salad is so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the sweetness of the grapes and apples pairs with the sharpness of the Stilton cheese.
