My favorite use of Blue Cheese in salad is to toss crumbled Blue Cheese
with a simple salad of lettuce (several types), tomatoes, peppers.  Then
just before serving to toss again with a simple vinaigrette dressing.
I usually only add salt and pepper to the vinaigrette, and often replace
half the vinegar with lemon juice.  I really prefer this to the white
dressings with mayonnaise or whatever.
   If some of your guests don't like blue cheese, you can also delay adding
it until you've asked around the table.  Then you can toss one bowl with
cheese and dressing, and another with only dressing.
   I've found that the drier looking cheeses are sharper, and also have a
better texture for eating in salad than the smooth, glossy looking blue
cheeses.  Stilton is prefect, but many American blues are quite adequate.
