Crisp Apple & Nutty Gruyère Harmony
Juicy apple slices and crunchy nuts tossed with shaved Gruyère cheese over fresh greens — sweet, salty, creamy, and vibrant in every forkful.
Ingredients:
- 3–4 leaves of green lollo lettuce
- 3–4 leaves of red lollo lettuce
- 5–6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 apple, very thinly sliced
- 100 g Gruyère cheese, very thinly sliced
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
- Prepare the Salad Base:
Wash the lettuce thoroughly and tear it into large pieces. Place it in a salad bowl. - Prepare the Apple and Tomatoes:
Peel the apple, remove the core, and slice it thinly using a vegetable peeler. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the lettuce along with the apple slices. - Add the Cheese:
Using the same vegetable peeler, slice the Gruyère cheese into very thin strips and add them to the salad. - Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well until the dressing is smooth. - Assemble the Salad:
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Bright Sweetness Meets Rich Cheese
The apple adds freshness and crisp texture, while Gruyère brings that melting, nutty depth. A simple vinaigrette with lemon or apple cider vinegar ties them together.
