    Recipe Introduction


    Cashel, an Irish blue cheese, adds a creamy texture and sweet, slightly tangy flavor to this classic main-course salad. If you have trouble finding Cashel, you can substitute a mild blue cheese, Roquefort or Irish cheddar.

    List of Ingredients




    Salad:
    9 cups (about 3/4 pound) Boston or Bibb lettuce, torn
    2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
    1 1/4 cups thinly sliced celery (about 3 stalks)
    1 cup thinly sliced cauliflower florets
    1 cup thinly sliced white mushrooms (about 8 small to medium mushrooms)
    1 cup thinly sliced cucumber (about 1/2 cucumber)
    1/2 cup thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash
    10 grape tomatoes, halved
    6 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped


    Dressing:
    2/3 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup half-and-half
    1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried, crumbled
    1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1/8 teaspoon dried
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    6 ounces Cashel Blue (Irish blue cheese), coarsely crumbled

    Recipe



    1. In a large bowl, toss together all salad ingredients; set aside.
    2. In a medium bowl, combine all dressing ingredients except cheese. Stir until well blended, then stir in cheese.
    3. Just before serving, pour dressing over salad, and toss well.
