Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup buttermilk (or heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small garlic clove (minced)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cheese
- 4 ounces blue cheese (crumbled)
Instructions
- Stir together the base ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Add the blue cheese: Fold in the crumbled blue cheese and continue whisking gently until the dressing is well combined but still has some small chunks of cheese for texture. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water and whisk until you reach the desired thickness.
- Use or store: Use the blue cheese dressing immediately on your favorite salad or as a dip, or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week to preserve freshness.
Notes
- Use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar based on your taste preference.
- Buttermilk can be substituted with heavy cream for a richer texture.
- For a thinner dressing, add small amounts of water gradually.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Gently fold in the blue cheese to maintain texture with bits of cheese.
