This was a WONDERFUL white sauce. I am always trying to find a good white sauce to serve with a family favorite of broiled Salmon with caramelized onion and diced fresh cooked beets. We spread sauce on the plate and place the salmon and beets on top and onions on top of the salmon. Very Yummy! My search is over as this was the perfect sauce! I didn't have any chicken bouillon powder, so I used my mini food processor to finely grind 3 Wylers chicken cubes. I also used Sargento's Italian blend shredded cheese - (6 shredded cheeses: Mozzarella, Povolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fontina, & Asiago). Thanks again for such a GREAT recipe.
