<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.5px; text-align: justify;">
1 Bag of shredded cabbage or cole slaw<br />1/3 cup walnuts<br />2 tablespoons cider vinegar<br />1 tablespoon lemon juice<br />Salt and pepper<br />½ cup olive oil<br />2 tablespoons creme fraiche or heavy cream (we used sour cream)<br />2 apples (any crisp, tasty eating variety, such as Sierra Beauty, Granny Smith, or Fuji)<br />1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.5px; text-align: justify;">

Preheat the oven to 375°F.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.5px; text-align: justify;">

Toast and chop the walnuts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.5px; text-align: justify;">

To prepare the dressing, mix the vinegar with the lemon juice, some salt, and a generous amount of pepper.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.5px; text-align: justify;">
Whisk in the olive oil and then the creme fraiche or cream. Taste and adjust the acid and salt as desired.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 14.5px; text-align: justify;">

Quarter, peel, and core the apples. Slice the quarters lengthwise fairly thin and cut these slices lengthwise into a julienne. Toss the cabbage, apples, and walnuts (and blue cheese, if you’re using it) with the dressing and an extra pinch of salt. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes, taste again, adjust the seasoning as needed, and serve.</div>
