MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE SALAD DRESSING
This is from Kincaids Restaurant in Redondo Beach, Ca. When I tried it at the restaurant, I had to have the recipe, which I found on the web. It is the best blue cheese salad dressing ever !!! The Maytag Blue Cheese is so creamy and delicious, like no other. It's not cheap, but worth every dime if you can find it. If you can't find it, you can substitute Danish Blue Cheese, or your personal favorite. It should be refrigerated overnight. I'm guessing on the servings amount, it makes about 1-1/2 cups. Serve it over iceberg lettuce wedges with your choice of other veggies, i.e tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do !!!

PEAR & WALNUT SALAD W/CREAMY BLEU (BLUE) CHEESE DRESSING
This salad is a little different from most pear and walnut salads as it has a creamy bleu cheese dressing, not a vinaigrette. The creaminess of the dressing, the sweetness of the pears, the crunch from the glazed walnuts and a little zip from the dried cranberries make this a very unique and tasty salad. I started making it this way a few years ago, and everyone loved it, so it is a staple in our house now. The combination of the flavors is awesome. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
