Creamy blue cheese, bitter leaves and a sweet-sharp honey vinegar dressing combine to make this salad which is full of beautiful contrasts. The honey vinegar is particularly special, adding a touch of sweetness to the dressing. We like to quick-pickle the grapes for added interest, although you could just add them as they are. This would work with almost any blue cheese.
