Manchego, Apple and Almond Salad with Honey-Lemon Vinaigrette

Apples and cheese make a classic combination, here updated with Manchego cheese and the addition of Marcona almonds for a flavorful salad. A lemon-honey dressing pairs perfectly; try it with a strong flavored honey, such as chestnut or buckwheat.
