Strawberries in Blue Vein Sauce

5-6 Berries per serve

1 portion Blue Vein Cheese

Mayonnaise

Method: Beat mayonnaise and blue vein cheese, adding enough mayonnaise to make a creamy sauce.

Serve in champagne glasses. Put a portion of lettuce leaf in each glass, add washed and de-stalked strawberries and pour over small quantity of sauce. (Not too much as sauce is fairly rich.)

Sauce may be made and strawberries prepared early in the day. Put into glasses a couple of hours before serving. [Serves 6]
