Mash the cheese in a small bowl with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until combined but still a bit lumpy.

I was a bit hesitant to try this salad because I'm not a big fan of blue cheese. But I'm so glad I did! The dressing is actually very mild and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the fruit and nuts. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is the best ambrosia salad I've ever had! The blue cheese dressing is the perfect complement to the sweet fruit and crunchy nuts. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The cardamom adds a unique and delicious flavor that really sets it apart from other ambrosia salads. I highly recommend trying it!

This Cardamom Ambrosia Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors of the fruit, nuts, and cheese were perfectly balanced, and the dressing was light and tangy. My guests raved about it, and I'm definitely making it
