Core and slice apples, and place on top of lettuce.

Poach the eggs:
5
Using a shallow 1 quart saucepan, fill with water and add vinegar. Turn on stove and heat water to medium- just before boiling temperature. When bubbles start to form in the water, carefully break open eggs into the saucepan, leaving enough space between eggs so they will not stick together. Turn off the heat on the stove, cover, and leave eggs in the water to cook for 3 minutes.
6
Preparing Dressing:
7
Combine all dressing ingredients, whisk together with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon over each of the salad plates.
8
To Serve:
9
Use a large spoon to carefully place eggs on top of plates of apples and lettuce, allowing for 2 eggs per person.
10
Sprinkle pieces of cheddar cheese and almonds or walnuts on top of the salad and serve
