Chicken and Blue Cheese Salad
Blue Cheshire is rich and creamy with an excellent flavour. Other blue cheeses, such as Shropshire Blue or Stilton, could also be used in this recipe. Radishes bought fresh, with the leaves still attached, should be eaten as soon as possible. If pre-packed, however, they will keep for a day or two in the fridge.

Instructions
- Mix the chicken, rice, cheese, radishes, sultanas and celery together in a large bowl.
