Couldn't cook today - it was too hot. This is a real heat-buster. Used roquefort in place of the bleu and creme fraiche in place of the sour cream. Fleur de sel was my salt of choice. Everything else as is. Delicious.

Wonderful. I added crisp bacon and diced fresh tomatos. My boyfriend is not a salad eater but will eat this.

I quartered the recipe for a single serving, but had enough dressing left over for another salad. That's a good thing because it was delicious! The fresh chives really made it, I think. Made for ZWT.

An easy and delicious salad! I halved the recipe and used chives from my garden! Thanks! Made for the Epicurean Queens-Family Picks-ZWT 2009.

I found this to be delicious! Have to admit that as much as I have grown to love blue cheese, I hav enever made the dressing myself! It was so easy and nice change from the everyday salad! I improvised and added some crumbled bacon over it! If I had them in the fridge, I would have added some cherry tomatoes as well! Thanks for sharing! Definitely a keeper! Made for Ali Baba Babes for ZWT5.
