Amazing, one of the best salads I've ever had! I don't add any salt and it's fine. Spinach is also good in place of the lettuce mix.

This light and refreshing salad has the word classic in its title for a reason. This recipe is sure to stick around. "I first tasted this salad at a luncheon given by a friend of mine. I love the flavor combination of tart-sweet apples, crunchy walnuts, and pungent blue cheese." --CL Reader
