Recipe Notes
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
- Serve chilled w/ fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, etc.), Romaine lettuce hearts, etc.
- Also great with chicken tenders, sandwiches, burgers, salads (such as a Classic Wedge), and black pepper kettle-style potato chips.
NOTE: A creamier blue cheese – such as AmaBlu – will create richer flavor (versus a dryer crumble).
