SALAD WITH APPLE, CELERY, HAZELNUTS AND ROQUEFORT CHEESE



Salad With Apple, Celery, Hazelnuts and Roquefort Cheese image

From the December 2004 issue of Cook's Illustrated Magazine. A salad for bleu cheese lovers. Makes a great company salad for special occasions. For the olive oil I substituted 2 tablespoons of hazelnut oil plus 1 tablespoon of bland oil. A mouthwatering taste of tangy, sweet and tart. Try different types of bleu cheese for variety and personal preference.

I created this recipe one night when I had a craving for a twist on traditional slaw. It was a hit, and now it's a staple at all our family get-togethers. Add a cup of raisins for variety. -Hutch Hutchins, Hartsville, South Carolina
