I inherited my love of blue cheese from my Grandma. Thank god she instilled that good sense in me. Literally nothing tastes worse with blue cheese + everything tastes better.Â
Salad:Â
Lettuce - I like a Bibb or Butter Lettuce
1 Fennel BulbÂ
1lb Potatoes - I like the very small ones for this saladÂ
¼ Red OnionÂ
1 pint StrawberriesÂ
1 cup Blue Cheese - pick your fave!Â
6-8 ScallionsÂ
Roast the potatoes with salt + pepper. Chop the fennel fronds + very thinly slice the fennel bulb. Very thinly slice the red onion. Chop the strawberries. Tear the lettuce. Chop the scallions. Crumble the blue cheese. Mix everything together. Now - dress! Enjoy!Â
Blue Cheese Dressing:Â
1 cup sour cream (I’ve subbed yogurt before, just add some vinegar to make it more sour)Â
1 cup mayonnaiseÂ
4oz blue cheese - crumbledÂ
1 TB black pepperÂ
1 tsp saltÂ
10-12 chives - choppedÂ
2-4 TB buttermilkÂ
Leaving the buttermilk for last, add everything together. Use the buttermilk to thin it out to your liking. If you need it more acidic add 1TB vinegar at a time.Â
