OK, OK, so I'm one of those who would never seriously look at anything that included blue cheese, much less go to the grocery store & buy some! Well, perhaps I've changed my mind, if only a little, mind you! Made this salad specifically for my other half, who enjoys 'blue-cheese' ANYTHING! Then, I had a little taste & then another! Well, truth-be-told, blue cheese isn't all that bad ~ Not something I'd munch on daily, but not bad! And so, with all the oohs & aahs & ravings about this salad, you get a full shot of stars! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe cooking game]

Loved this salad, everything about it. We had a very similar dressing last night and there was so little difference that I added a white onion to it and ran it through the processor and felt I could review this recipe with the dressing I made last night. The recipe was chef #41578 's recipe #31088 Anyway, I didn't realize the salads were similar until I went to make this one tonight. Absolutely wonderful. Loved the sweetness of the dressing with the sharp bold taste of the blue cheese. Thanks for sharing.

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
