Ingredients

1 oak-leaf lettuce or another soft lettuce
10 young bloody dock leaves
1 apple
50 g walnuts
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
salt and pepper

Method

Wash the lettuce and bloody dock and spin them dry. Tear the lettuce into pieces and cut the bloody dock into wide strips so the red veins show well.
Cut the apple into thin wedges and toast the walnuts for 3 minutes in a dry pan.
Whisk the oil with the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to make a dressing.
Mix the lettuce, bloody dock and apple, pour over the dressing and scatter over the walnuts.

Storing: Make the salad just before serving; once dressed it soon goes limp.
