Coleslaw Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
Lymeswold was the first new English cheese to appear for 200 years, when it was launched on the market in 1982. It quickly became popular for its creamy texture and rich flavour, with an added tang from the blue veining. Somerset Blue is a similar style, full-fat, soft cheese. Use either to make the tasty dressing for this salad, which is ideal to serve in winter.
