This is an easy to put together recipe that combines ingredients you might not normally think to put together. The crispness of the apples balance well with the smooth cheese, smokey turkey and slightly sweet sauce. A great dish that is worth a try.

  • 1/4 cup Red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 Lemon, or whole small lemon, juiced

  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 300g Penne pasta
  • 100g Havarti, diced
