Stilton Salad Dressing
YIELD Makes 6 servings
See Cooking Videos
In this salad dressing, most of the cholesterol usually found in cheese dressings is missing by using tofu for texture and low fat cottage cheese for the lumps associated with higher fat Stilton. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor so that you can use fewer of them. Although adding 1 teaspoon of walnuts to each serving adds 2 grams of fat, it adds a lot of flavor.
