Ingredients:

2 large heads Boston lettuce
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup walnut oil
1 cup walnut pieces, toasted
1/4 pound Stilton, crumbled or shaved

Directions:

Quarter lettuce heads lengthwise, keeping stem ends attached. Carefully wash in cold water, then dry in a salad spinner.
