Recipe ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) apple juice
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) walnut or olive oil
- Salt, pepper, sugar
- 6 oz (175 g) Canadian Oka
- 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) finely chopped toasted walnuts
- 2 medium tart green apples
- 10 cups (2.5 L) torn salad greens
- Sweetened dried cranberries (optional)
Preparation
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, apple juice and oil. Whisk together until smooth. Add salt, pepper and a little sugar to taste. Set dressing aside.
Into a medium bowl, crumble Canadian Oka. Shape into 18 balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Roll balls in chopped walnuts to form truffles. Thread 3 cheese truffles onto each of 6 wooden skewers.
Core and thinly slice apples. Combine with salad greens in a large bowl and toss with dressing. Divide salad among 6 chilled plates, top with a skewer of cheese truffles and garnish with sweetened dried cranberries, if desired.
Suggestion
Replace walnutswith finely chopped toasted pecans, and apples with firm ripe pears.
To serve cheese truffles as an hors-d'oeuvre, place each one in a small fluted paper cup. Garnish with sweet pepper or fresh herbs and place on a cheese tray. Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days before serving. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before serving and roll in chopped nuts.
