How To Make Blue Cheese Dressing?
- Whisk the base: In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice.
- Add blue cheese and season: Stir in the crumbled blue cheese, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Recipe Tips:
- Use high-quality blue cheese: The flavor of your dressing depends on the cheese! Choose a good-quality blue cheese like Roquefort, Stilton, or Gorgonzola for the best taste.
- Adjust the thickness: If you like a thinner dressing, add a little more buttermilk. For a thicker dip-style dressing, use less buttermilk or more sour cream.
- Let it rest for better flavor: Allow the dressing to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using. This helps the flavors blend and makes it taste even better.
- Mash or blend for texture: If you like a smooth dressing, blend it for a creamy finish. If you prefer chunky blue cheese bits, simply stir and mash with a fork.
- Season carefully: Blue cheese is already salty, so taste before adding extra salt. Start with a little and adjust to your liking!
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the blue cheese dressing sit at room temperature for a few minutes before storing. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Stir well before using, as the ingredients may separate.
