Preparation
To make tempura batter, combine mix with sparkling water in a bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
To make dressing, remove half or all of the cheese from its wax rind and place in a bowl. Add cream and stir to break up cheese into large pieces. Mix in chives and season generously with pepper. Adjust amount of cheese to your taste. Set aside at room temperature.
Place oysters on paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
Meanwhile, combine lettuce and kale mix with cabbage and dill. Divide among 4 plates.
In a deep saucepan, heat oil on medium-high heat until deep-fryer thermometer reads 375°F (190°C). Dip oysters in chilled tempura batter. Cook immediately in hot oil for 3–4 min or until golden. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Cook 6 oysters at a time.
Top salads with fried oysters and drizzle with Blue cheese dressing. Serve immediately.
