1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/3 to 1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup grated yellow onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
2 cups diced sweet red apples, such as Gala or Jonathan (2 to 3 medium apples)
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1/2 cup walnut pieces, broken
1 head Bibb lettuce, cored and leaves separated

I had high hopes for this salad
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this for my family and I don't know if somehow I did something wrong, but lets just say, it was not a hit. I made the... dressing pretty early in the day, so I might suggest making it just before you are going to eat. We weren't impressed with this one. Sorry Emeril.Read more

Loved it! Kind of a lot of work for a salad- but if you don't mind it's worth it.

I made this very quickly and it was quite tasty and not overly sweet or heavy. The Blue cheese was a great twist to an old... recipe.Read more
