Watercress salad with Stilton dressing
This is a simple green salad served with a dressing of Stilton cheese and mayonnaise. As with many of the salads that contain cheese, watch out for the calories and saturated fats that are contained in the majority of cheeses, especially if you are dieting. Often, a full-fat cheese can be substituted for a lower-fat version. This salad is bouncing with flavour and the walnuts add an exciting texture to the salad.
