  • Wrap lettuce head in foil or plastic wrap and chill until center is solid.

  • A few pieces of fresh fruit (grapes, strawberries or melon) placed on the salad plate is very nice.

  1. Love this salad! I made it the first time as written, and it was an absolute hit with my family. But I have since found that this recipe lends itself to many different variations. Today I added some dill weed to the cream cheese. Awesome! I have added several different veggies, usually what I have on hand, cut in small dices. I have made it without the blue cheese in the mix, and served it with blue cheese dressing. The possibilities are endless! I make this often, and we never tire of it!Thanks so much Dancer!
     
  2. Fantastic salad Dancer! It was way easier to make than I thought it was going to be. I had to use red pepper instead of green because that's what I had. Other than that I followed the recipe perfect. I served this with Ranch dressing and it was wonderful! Thanks so much for posting!
