Definitely a dish for those that like blue Cheese and red wine vinegar as the flavours are quite intense. Really nice salad for those that do. Presents very well and easy to make. I topped with sunflower seeds as my walnuts disappeared into someone's tummy. Next time I'll try it with balsamic vinegar.
