Hi - if you can tolerate cooked beets and vinegar, this one's great.
BEET, BLEU CHEESE AND TOASTED WALNUT SALAD
1/4 c orange juice
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp chopped chives
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 can 14.5 oz. sliced beets drained
4 c torn red leaf lettuce (I use the baby greens in the bag)
2 tbsp crumbled bleu cheese (or gorgonzola)
1/4 c chopped candied walnuts (or any other nut)
1. Combine first 7 ingr in small bowl. Stir well w/whisk. Add beets and toss well. Cover and chill 2 hrs.

I use the candied walnuts or pecans left over from Christmas. If anyone wants the recipe to candy them, let me know and I'll post it.

If you have time.. try this..... Bleu Cheeze and Bleu Cheeze Dressing and if you do, please let us know how it turns out.
I personally don't have problem with a tiny bite of blue cheese, but everyone is different......
