BLUE CHEESE & ASPARAGUS SALAD



Blue Cheese & Asparagus Salad image

Found this recipe on the back of a box of blue cheese and decided to try it. It's a nice blend of flavors and really sets off the asparagus and simple to make. Love that the asparagus is not over cooked and so fresh tasting;I guessed at the size can of mandarin oranges as don't have it handy. I used a small can as didn't want it to sweet - but there's a larger one if you prefer. I did add a teaspoon of balsamic vinager to mine for a little bit of bite, but since the original recipe did not call for it I left it out. Hope you like it.

TRUE-BLUE POTATO SALAD



True-Blue Potato Salad image

This is from allrecipes.com. Blue cheese lovers will probably love this. I used blue potatoes when I made it and did not peel them. It calls for 1.5 teaspoons of salt, but I find this to be too salty since there is also salt in the cheese. I will probably use 1/2 teaspoon of salt next time I make this. Note: It doesn't seem to keep well. We had leftovers the next day and the salad was watery.

Thick and creamy are the standards for a great blue cheese dressing. If you're using this for a spinach salad, simply thin with milk or buttermilk. We loved this potato salad, it's very different! This recipe is by Heather Trim from Food and Drink Magazine.

BLUE CHEESE POTATO SALAD



Blue Cheese Potato Salad image

This is a potato salad you should not pass up! I made this quite a few time recently, it has quickly become a favorite in my house. There is cooling time and about 5 hours chilling time total for this salad, so plan ahead, or even better prepare a day in advance and chill the salad overnight! Prep time includes chilling time.
