Sensation Salad
There is a reason why this is called “Sensation Salad”. Simply put, it’s sensational!! My sister lives in Louisiana and brought this recipe to me several years ago from Kay, one of her two amazing mother in-laws!! It is my favorite salad in the world and very easy to make. Even if you don’t like blue cheese, give it a try….seriously! There are many of my friends who don’t like blue cheese but love this salad. Thanks, Tara and Kay for bringing this salad into my world.

Top the salad with a nice piece of grilled or blackened chicken for a complete meal!
I can testify that I used to despise blue cheese. Denise made me this salad years ago and I had no idea there was blue cheese in it. After devouring the salad, I asked about it and my chin nearly hit the floor when Denise told me the surprise! That was the beginning of me tolerating blue cheese in other settings as well. – Melissa
