I added toasted pecans, raspberries and spring onions. And a handful of yellow raisins. I put some cheese directly in the salad, mixed some with the salad dressing. Yum.

Quick n wonderful. I prefer half the mustard and a whole garlic clove. A favorite.

This is exactly the simple, clean blue cheese dressing I was looking for. I wanted to serve it on a full, open head of bib lettuce, with a side of tomatoes. I wanted no creaminess. A great accompaniment for a prime piece of grilled halibut. This will be the go to.

This reminds me of the very first Roquefort dressing I ever had...not the creamy, thick, mayo-laden version we've grown used to, but more of a vinaigrette heavily laced with the cheese. I often serve a dinner salad dressed with vinaigrette and crumbled blue cheese...this is that, but combined into a dressing. I use Societé Roquefort, and if Trader Joe's ever stops selling this for $10.99/lb I'll weep, because it's $28+ anywhere else.

This is our favorite blue cheese dressing, and we have tried many recipes!
