Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing
This is a versatile, creamy blue cheese dressing that works perfectly as a salad topper or a chunky dip.
recipesbynani.comIf you love blue cheese as much as I do, this dressing is going to be your new best friend. It is thick enough to cling to carrot sticks and buffalo wings, but creamy enough to toss through a crisp green salad without making it soggy.
My biggest tip is to choose a blue cheese you actually enjoy eating on its own. Roquefort gives you a bold, sharp flavor, while something like Blue Castello is much milder if you are just starting out. Avoid the hard, dry crumbles because you want a cheese that softens into the creamy base.
🧺 Ingredients
- 150g blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place the crumbled blue cheese in a medium bowl and mash it with a fork until it is crumbly and soft.
- 2
Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar to the bowl.
- 3
Whisk everything together vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well combined but still has some small, lovely lumps of cheese remaining.
- 4
Serve immediately or store in the fridge until you are ready to eat.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. This dressing is wonderful for dipping veggie sticks, drizzling over a hot steak, or serving alongside buffalo wings.
