Long Clawson’s Smooth Blue, Pear and Pecan salad

With the summer sun making an occasional appearance, salads are back on the menu. Long Clawson Dairy, arguably best known for its creamy stilton, has brought out a milder, more delicate blue cheese – Smooth Blue. It goes exceptionally well with sweet pears and pecans in a salad or, using endive and walnuts, makes an elegant nibble-with-drinks, dinner party starter or lunch for ladies who lunch.
