If you really don't like blue cheese then either omit it or mix some lemon juice in with the yoghurt. Just be aware that this will give the dish a milder flavour. This dish makes a great lunch or light dinner in the warmer weather. This recipe is low saturated fat, low sodium, low sugar and high protein.
