Putting your blue cheese chips on the plate
For the cheese itself, the makers of Cashel Blue recommend a variety of pairings to inspire your chip selection. Consider fruits such as figs, pears, dates, apples, and apricots, as well as savory options like red onion marmalade and tomato chutney. They even suggest dark chocolate, so why not add a few pieces of Trader Joe's Mini 70% Dark Chocolate to your cheese board? This chocolate is among the most popular store-bought options, or you could drizzle some melted chocolate over the cheese.
Given the classic combination of blue cheese and buffalo sauce, your cheese board could also benefit from another Trader Joe's favorite: Buffalo Chicken Dip. Alternatively, you can create a simple sauce using Greek yogurt, sour cream, and your preferred amount of hot sauce, garnished with chopped green onions or herbs. Either way, the ridges of the chips will hold onto any dip perfectly.
When assembling your cheese board, don’t overlook beverage pairings. A fizzy craft beer with palate-cleansing qualities can enhance your blue cheese chips; a hoppy IPA complements them well, while a rich, malty stout offers a nice contrast. Sweet wines like Sauternes and Vin Santo provide a delightful counterpoint to the salty, savory chips, but you might also consider a white like Gewurztraminer or a red such as Spanish Tempranillo. Ultimately, while there are some items you might want to skip at Trader Joe's, these chips are definitely worth adding to your next cheese board and beyond.
