Obviously, as with other types of salad, there are classic ingredients that go together, and the same goes for certain types of cheese. In most cases, a strong-tasting cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton, is married with a mild-flavoured ingredient such as pear, spinach or walnuts. These combinations are absolutely divine, which is why salads with these combinations are often found on the menus of the best quality restaurants.
For those watching their weight or who are worried about the saturated fats contained within harder cured cheeses such as Cheddar, try a low-fat option like cottage cheese or goat's cheese, or lower in fat options of your favourite cheeses if they are available. The advantage of using a strong-flavoured cheese in your salad is that you won't have to use such a large quantity, and this will therefore reduce the calorie and fat intake from this type of food, allowing you to fully enjoy your favourite cheese salad without feeling guilty.
In our cheese salad section, we offer you some of our favourite recipes including a variety of the most mouth-watering and classic partnerships. Why not try out our recipe for pear and Roquefort salad, Gruyere, walnut and grape or spinach and feta cheese. Who says that salad is boring and unadventurous?
