  1. 1

    Rinse the Little Gem lettuce leaves and pat dry; separate into individual leaves suitable for plating.

  2. 2

    Core and thinly slice the apples; toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.

  3. 3

    Toast the wild pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes; cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Whisk the creamy miso dressing: in a bowl combine miso paste, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the salad: lay lettuce leaves on a platter, scatter apple slices and toasted pecans, then crumble Boont Corners cheese over the top.

  6. 6

    Dress and finish: drizzle the miso dressing over the salad, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped chives, and serve immediately.
