CREAMY BLUE CHEESE DIP WITH WALNUTS



Creamy Blue Cheese Dip With Walnuts image

Blue cheese can be a polarizing ingredient, but the sweetness of toasted walnuts rounds out the sharpness of the cheese in this creamy dip. If serving this dip to friends, surround it with large pieces of cabbage, sliced celery sticks and a sleeve of saltine crackers - and make extra, because it can disappear quickly. But it's built for more than entertaining guests: Slather it on a potato bun in a chicken cutlet sandwich, or use it to dress up a BLT.
