Hi there! I totally understand your aversion to blue cheese. Personally, I find it to be quite strong as well. However, I've actually tried this spread with a different type of cheese and it turned out just as delicious! I substituted feta cheese instead and it added a nice tangy flavor without being overpowering. So if you're not a fan of blue cheese, I definitely recommend giving feta a try in this spread. Let me know how it turns out if you do end up trying it!
