Blue Cheese and Dried Cranberry Tossed Salad

Yum Yum Yum!!!

Yes all I can say is this is super yummy and so good!!! Did I say that already!

I had a salad with blue cheese at a friends house and went looking for something similar and came across this one!

I really like blue cheese and adding it to a salad is genius and I can't believe I didn't think of adding it to a salad sooner!

So if you like blue cheese and need a salad for the holidays try this one you wont be disappointed! I didn't use the balsamic vinegar and used my favorite raspberry vinaigrette, so I will add that at the end too!
