SPINACH SALAD WITH WHITE STILTON AND FRUIT



Spinach Salad With White Stilton and Fruit image

This is my own creation after buying some white Stilton with blueberries on impulse and having no idea what to do with it! We've also tried this with white Stilton with mangoes, apricots or cranberries, all wonderful! This is more of an idea than a recipe, so feel free to substitute nuts, fruits and dressing to taste. I've also used strawberries and almonds with this. *Note: White Stilton is different from regular Stilton, it is not a blue cheese at all because it has not gone through the process that causes the blue veining that gives blue cheese its distinctive taste. I would describe it as kind of like feta but a little sweeter, especially with the addition of the fruit.

SPINACH AND EXOTIC FRUIT SALAD



Spinach and Exotic Fruit Salad image

This is another recipe from the "Creme de Colorado" cookbook, it is the best Spinach salad I've ever had! Very easy to prepare, in fact, it can all be prepared ahead and just tossed together when ready to eat. This is also the best Poppyseed dressing I've ever eaten. I fixed this last night and hardly ate anything BUT the salad, it's that good! Recipe makes 8 side salad servings, but if you want it as a main dish type salad I would figure on half the servings.
