We'll admit it—we all love a wedge of iceberg with blue-cheese dressing. So there's no need to apologize for serving this beautiful plate of sweet lettuce, slices of good Stilton, and toasted walnuts, along with an excellent vinaigrette that brings out the best in all of them.

Cooks' notes:

· Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. · Nuts can be toasted 1 day ahead and cooled, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
