What Fruit Goes Well With Bleu Cheese?
Bleu cheese, while being known as a smelly cheese, is a perfect bite of tangy, sharp and a little spicy. It’s pretty mild in flavor, overall, which makes it the PERFECT cheese to pair with a sweeter fruit. Definitely try bleu cheese with pear, fig, cranberry, berries or apple soon. I’m getting hungry just thinking about any of those combinations!
Why Eat Bleu Cheese With Strawberries?
Strawberries, when in season, are my favorite fresh fruit to top a simple salad made with leafy greens. I eat a salad every single day and am on a healthy living journey. I’m actually using food to heal from the inside out and strawberries are easy for me to grab out of the fridge and chop up.
I’m constantly finding ways to keep my day time salads light and lower calorie, with a little protein. When I’m not topping my salad with a meat or plant-based protein, I grab a little bit of cheese. Today’s choice was bleu cheese and damn, was it yummy!

My favorite every-day salad bowl
I love a good pasta bowl that can double as a salad bowl, too. This set by Dowan is well loved by my family of six. We use these for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. I have 2 sets of four in my kitchen cabinet at the moment, as well as a few other items from their line. I’m only a little obsessed, okay?

Simple Salad With Strawberries And Bleu Cheese Recipe Notes
- If you’re wanting to toss together a salad FAST, this is the one to try.
- If you happen to be calorie counting and watching macros like me, you’ll appreciate being able to weigh everything in a single bowl. I talk about my absolute favorite kitchen scale here and highly recommend it, if you’re looking for an accurate food scale that’s also sleek, modern and large enough to weigh ingredients in a large bowl or container. It’s flat too, so you can store it in a slide out top drawer in the kitchen! YESSSSS!
- I weigh all of my ingredients in grams, unless its a liquid, like the salad dressing.
- This salad is one of my favorites, year-round and I really think you should try it, if you haven’t yet. Yes, even if you don’t like bleu cheese and think it smells like puke (per my four year old’s opinion). Just don’t smell it, mmm kay?
