wedge salad with blue cheese dressing.

Blue Cheese Dressing

Perfect for salads or as a dip for veggies or wings, this creamy blue cheese dressing packs plenty of flavor.

Servings: 2 cups
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 10 Minutes

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup buttermilk
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann’s or Duke’s
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced chives

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure your blue cheese is crumbled into small pieces. Add to the mixture along with the chives and stir to combine. To incorporate some of the blue cheese crumbles more thoroughly, use the back of a spoon to mash them against the sides of the bowl, and then stir again. (Alternatively, if you want the dressing completely smooth, blend all of the ingredients except for the chives in a food processor, then stir in the chives.)
  2. Make-Ahead Instructions: The dressing will keep nicely in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  3. Note: If you don't have buttermilk (or don't want to buy a whole carton), use sour cream or yogurt (Greek or regular) thinned with milk to a thick but pourable consistency.
