List of Ingredients

Dressing:
2/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon apple cider
2 ounces Camembert-style cheese, rind removed and chopped
Dash of cider vinegar

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the sour cream, cider, cheese, and vinegar. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. set aside.

Salad:
4 streaky rashers (I used Canadian bacon cut into thin strips)
PAM
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 small heads of Bibb or Boston lettuce, torn into pieces. (You can get it bagged with a little radiccio for a nice color.)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice



Recipe

Spray a large skillet with PAM, add the bacon, and cook it over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly browned. Remove using a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. When cool, finely chop. Return the skillet to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the apples. Sauté the apples for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Season with salt and peper.

Divide the lettuce among 4 salad plates. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice. Top the lettuce with the warm apples and bacon. Spoon the camembert dressing over all.
