Chopped Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
4.0 (2881 reviews)
This chopped blue cheese salad recipe is heavy on the funk — maximizing the pungent flavor with blue cheese both in the dressing and as chunks in the salad. Avocado adds creaminess to complement the satisfying crunch of romaine lettuce, carrot, fennel, cucumber, Fuji apple, and toasted walnuts.

- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 tablespoon very finely chopped shallot
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 romaine hearts, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise

- 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 1/2 seedless cucumber, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 Fuji apple, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 Hass avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice

Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the walnuts in a pie plate and toast them for about 10 minutes, until they are golden. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
- 2In a large bowl, whisk the shallot with the Dijon mustard and sherry vinegar and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk until smooth.
