Steps:

• Vinaigrette: In a container, whisk together the vinegars, sugar, sweet mustard, salt and vanilla. Whisk in the oil. Makes a generous 1 cup of vinaigrette.
• Salad: Arrange the romaine on individual salad plates.
• To prepare the peeled and cored apples, cut each half into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into thirds.
• Place the apples in a small bowl and toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the pieces. You can prepare the apple mixture up to an hour ahead. Important: If you coat the apples with the dressing any longer than that, they will absorb too much of the vinaigrette, which overwhelms the apple flavor.
• Divide the apple mixture among the salads. Top each serving with a portion of the cheese and then a portion of the hazelnuts.
• Drizzle an extra bit of the vinaigrette over the greens and around the edges of the salad. Serve.
• Alternatively: Instead of hearts of Romaine lettuce, consider a mixture of baby spinach, hearts of Romaine and/or other mixed young greens. You could also substitute feta or white cheddar, aged gouda, etc. for the blue cheese.
• Another serving option would be to assemble the entire salad on a large platter instead of individual salad plates.

• Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
