Delicious Blue Cheese Coleslaw


The combination of all of these fresh ingredients make this a simple and delicious alternative to your run-of-the-mill coleslaw. It pairs perfectly with beef or buffalo chicken. I like to prepare and serve immediately, or it can be refrigerated and served within the next 3 days.

What you need:
1 cup good crumbled blue cheese
2 lemons, juiced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
sea salt and black pepper to taste
6 stalks celery, thinly sliced
4 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
1 (16 ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix with red and green cabbage and carrots
Preparation:
Lightly mix together the blue cheese, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and sea salt and pepper in a large salad bowl. Stir in the celery, green onions, and bagged coleslaw, and mix until well-coated, serve and enjoy!
Types of Blue Cheeses widely available:
Gorgonzola - This blue cheese is from Italy and is made from cow's milk.
Stilton - This cheese is considered to be the king English cheeses, it is manufactured from sheep or cow's milk.
Roquefort – This is made from cow's milk and is one of France's national treasures. It is somewhat porous and has a green color rather than blue streaks. It has a soft, creamy texture and has a spicy taste.
Cabrales - is one of the four most famous blue cheeses. It is a combination of cow, sheep and goat's milk.
Danablu - One of the most well-known blue cheeses originally from Denmark.
Benedictine Bleu – This cheese is from Canada and has been famous since 1943.
