Blue Cheese Dressing

Easy creamy homemade blue cheese dressing packs in plenty of sharp, mouth-watering flavors and is easy enough to whip together in only 5 minutes.

Why this recipe works

Step aside store-bought dressing, because this homemade blue cheese dressing is even creamier and rich in flavor than the pre-bottled kind could ever wish for. Our vehicle of choice is our crisp wedge salad, with extra blue cheese crumbles on top. But this dressing isn’t strictly for salad, it’s also the perfect dip for dunking chicken wings and fresh vegetables in.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

BLUE CHEESE – You can add more or less blue cheese crumbles depending on your tastes. If you aren’t a fan of texture in your dressing, try mashing the blue cheese or quickly blitzing it all in a blender or food processor for a smoother consistency.

BUTTERMILK – Along with the sour cream and mayonnaise, the buttermilk is what creates the creamy base. If you find that your dressing is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash to thin it out.
