Ingredients needed
Blue cheese. I prefer crumbling my own blue cheese but feel free to substitute with blue cheese crumbles if that’s all you can find. I like using Gorgonzola, Roquefort or Stilton. Sour cream. Many people add mayonnaise to their dressing but I find the sour cream adds enough creaminess. Plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for a lighter dressing. Buttermilk. Substitute with milk or water to thin out the dressing to your desired consistency. Fresh chives. Other herbs like parsley can be used instead. Seasonings like garlic powder and onion powder can also be added. Salt and black pepper. A teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce can be added for more flavor but I don’t find it necessary. Fresh lemon juice.
How to make blue cheese dressing
Crumble the blue cheese and add to a mixing bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Mix well then taste and adjust seasoning if needed and serve. If you want a smoother dressing, simply blend the ingredients together in a blender or with an immersion blender.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes, this can be made and kept in an airtight container or jar for up to a week in the refrigerator. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
Serving suggestions
