This Niva blue cheese spread with pear and walnuts pairs salty blue cheese with sweet fruit. Dice the pear and drizzle it with lemon juice to keep it from browning, then mix it with grated Niva, a Czech blue cheese, and mayonnaise. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top and garnish with cranberries. It takes just a few minutes to prepare and works well on bread, open-faced sandwiches, or as a snack for guests.

Instructions

  1. Dice the pear, drizzle with lemon juice, and mix with the grated Niva and mayonnaise. Garnish the spread with chopped walnuts and cranberries.

Tip: Grate the Niva while well chilled, as warmer cheese smears on the grater. Dice the pear finely so the spread is easy to spread and the pieces do not fall off the bread.
