Ingredients

Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or buttermilk (to thin, optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the base of your dressing.
  2. Add Flavorings: Stir in lemon juice (or white vinegar), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the seasonings evenly.
  3. Fold in Blue Cheese: Gently fold the crumbled blue cheese into the mixture, keeping some chunks intact for texture and bursts of flavor.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If a thinner dressing is desired, gradually add milk or buttermilk one tablespoon at a time, stirring until you reach the preferred pouring consistency.
  5. Chill for Flavor: Refrigerate the dressing for 20–30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and enhance, ensuring a rich taste experience.

Notes

  • For best flavor, let the dressing chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
  • You can substitute white vinegar with lemon juice depending on your flavor preference.
  • Use buttermilk to add a slight tang and creaminess; milk will thin the dressing without extra tanginess.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 5–7 days for optimal freshness.
  • Gently folding in the blue cheese preserves the texture and adds a pleasant chunkiness.
