STRAWBERRY SALAD WITH CHOCOLATE BALSAMIC DRESSING



Strawberry Salad With Chocolate Balsamic Dressing image

A refreshingly different salad, we can buy Stilton with black pepper here, but you can use any Stilton or even leave it out if you prefer. I make half the amount of dressing as I find that this is enough. Recipe adapted from Rococo Real Chocolate Book by Chatal Coady.
