PEAR & WALNUT SALAD W/CREAMY BLEU (BLUE) CHEESE DRESSING



Pear & Walnut Salad W/Creamy Bleu (Blue) Cheese Dressing image

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!

THE ULTIMATE CREAMY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING & DIP



The Ultimate Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing & Dip image

I have discovered Blue Cheese Dressing & Dip nirvana! I have yet to find a ready made that I like. I came up with this when serving Buffalo Chicken Wings last week. Why start from scratch when you can cheat?! :D Super simple and full of garlicy goodness & blue cheese. Great as a salad dressing, raw veggie dip, Buffalo Chicken Wings, etc. I have listed the full 12 ounce jar of Marie's Caesar dressing and 5 oz container of blue cheese. Use as much or as little of each ingredients as you like. The bottom line is, estimate how much you will need & make it to your liking. Thin it with mayo & milk if you are looking for a thinner dressing. Make it thicker ( dressing & blue cheese only) for dipping. Serving size is arbitrary based on the ingredients amounts you decide to use.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces creamy caesar salad dressing, jar Marie's All Natural brand found in the refrigerated section
5 ounces crumbled blue cheese, I prefer Treasure Cave Brand
1 tablespoon milk, used to thin the dressing
1 tablespoon real Hellmann's mayonnaise, lite works, used to stretch the amount of dressing (optional)
pepper, as needed

Steps:

  • Decide how much Caesar dressing you will need.
  • Add enough blue cheese crumbles to suit your taste. I like LOTS!
  • If your dressing is too thick, add milk to thin or mayonnaise to stretch the amount of dressing. Mix, check for seasoning & adding more blue cheese or creamy caesar.
  • Add pepper to taste.
  • Combine all ingredients, but don't smooth out the chunks of blue cheese. That would be criminal!
  • Serve and enjoy!
