This dressing is one of the best blue cheese dressings I have come across in a long time. I usually stick to creamy blue cheese dressings, but have been making vinaigrettes lately, this one tops my list. I made a salad of baby greens, thinly sliced red onion & pears. Served it with grilled Angus Beef burger steaks. We ate seconds that night & finished up the dressing on the same salad the next. Yum.
Blue Cheese Walnut Salad Dressing
A vinaigrette for blue cheese lovers, studded with chunks of creamy cheese—and the crunch of walnuts. Toss the dressing with a salad of arugula, thinly sliced radicchio, and pear. Or try it with romaine and tomato.
