Time 20m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup corn oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 to 3 tablespoons Calvados
2 Red Delicious apples
2 stalks celery
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 large bunch arugula
1/2 cup crumbled Stilton or Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the egg yolk, lemon juice and salt in a blender jar. Process on low speed just until blended. With the motor running on low speed, drizzle in the oil in a slow, steady stream. Fold in the honey and Calvados to taste.
  • Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small dice. Trim the ends off the celery and cut the stalks into small dice as well. Place both in a bowl with the walnuts. Spoon enough dressing over the mixture to coat all the components.
  • Trim the tough ends off the arugula. Wash the leaves well and dry in a salad spinner. Arrange them in a shallow salad bowl. Spoon the apple mixture into the center. Sprinkle the cheese around the edge.
  • Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
