Ingredients
 
 

Dressing
  • 3 teaspoons honey
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Salad
  • 4 cups lettuce
  • 2 cups cabbage, red or green
  • 1 apple
  • ½ cup smoked turkey meat
  • 1 ½ cups crumbled blue cheese
  • cup slivered cashews, almonds, or chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Make the dressing. Whisk all the ingredients together in a saucepan and warm over a low heat until the cranberries plump, about 5 minutes. Cool in the fridge.
  2. Make the salad. Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until they are aromatic and start to darken. Do not let them burn; they can burn quickly if you walk away. Shred the lettuce and the cabbage, and core the apple, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
  3. Serve. Toss the dressing with everything except the hardboiled eggs then divide the salad among four bowls. Top with the eggs and serve.

Notes

Optional. 4 hardboiled eggs, sliced with a slicer or chopped coarsely.
