Blue cheese is pretty polarizing: Most people either love it or hate it, and we can see why. With such a strong smell and taste, it can be overpowering at times. But fortunately, for those who want a little extra funk in their cheese, we’ve got plenty of ideas to help you maximize your blue cheese intake. You can’t go wrong with a salad; try one with gem lettuce and grapes or French lentils. And, of course, there’s always the classic Cobb salad (one of our personal favorites). Or make it melty with creamed swiss chard. You can even whisk it into a cream sauce! We’re behind your blue cheese cravings 100%, no matter what it does to your breath.
A neutral base of lentil salad lets the pleasant sharpness of the Bleu d’Auvergne cheese, which is aged in sweet wine at La Fromagerie du Comtat, take center stage in this salad. Get the recipe for French Lentil Salad with Blue Cheese »
