Lunch box tips:
Now if you are not a fan of blue cheese, just swap out for your favourite cheese. Mine would be mature cheddar. What is your favourite cheese? Comment below and let me know.
And a super quick tip is to buy the ready grated bags of cheddar, or mature cheddar and mozzarella mixed bag (the cheese then melts really nicely). This really does help this Best of England salad to be made in moments! For more salad inspiration, do check out our recipes section.
