This is an absolutely tasty Italian salad recipe using meaty and super flavorful cheese curds. I am using garlic and dill flavored but any other should be equally delicious.
This is my first time eating and trying cheese curds in a recipe. I bought two types from a company in Wisconsin (link here). Maple Bacon of which I snacked on and obviously Garlic and Dill which I used in this salad recipe.
For those of you who may not know, I discovered that cheese curds are dense and thick, and though cheese, some what meaty and filling in their bite and texture. These curds are very satisfying alone or with any salad and quite possibly in any other dish. Either way, I look forward to discovering other ways to put these delicious cheese curds to use.
