Questions

Can I make Stilton and Pear Salad dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 oz Stilton cheese, crumbled) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free salad collection instead.

How long does Stilton and Pear Salad keep?

Dressed, it is best the day it is made. Keep the components separate and refrigerated and they hold about two days; dress just before serving.

Can I halve or double Stilton and Pear Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
