All in a Row Salad image

This is the salad for that special occasion when you are aiming for visually stunning (I'm referring to both the salad and yourself). The original recipe specifies blue cheese, but you could substitute a myriad of cheeses: feta, imported Parmesan, Welsh cheddar, Tillamook Special Reserve, for example...Make this salad as individual as you want it, depending on your guests and your menu!
