Cheddar Salad

Cheddar salad is probably a strange name but that's what we call it!   I thought I didn't like cheddar until I started making this and now it is in the rotation at least 3 nights a week around here.  I usually use walnuts or cashews but you can pass on the nuts if you need to.  I think the key is a good cheddar.  I buy a white New Zealand cheddar from Whole Foods and its awesome.
