Beat the Heat....

So another meeting of the "Sassy Salad Club" was in order today, since it was one of the hottest days of the year so far.  (Bleh!  Hate the heat!)  But anyway, we managed to cool down with a Cantaloupe, Prosciutto and "Cabrales" salad...not too shabby for a 'work lunch', no? :)

Well...sorta!  I made a visit to the GLORIOUS cheese counter at the "Whole Foods" yesterday afternoon in search of this interesting 'Cabrales" cheese that I'd never heard of.  The woman at the counter told me that it was a Spanish blue cheese, and that they didn't carry it since they needed to sign a WAIVER in order to sell it since it was SOOOO strong!  Crazy, right???  So she directed me to this OTHER slightly milder Spanish Blue Cheese, 'Valdeon'...
Emphasis on the word slightly!  This cheese was pretty strong too...but it mild-ed out with the 'loupe and the arugula.  It certainly made for an interesting Wednesday lunch:)  Two thumbs up!
