Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing tastes amazing and adds a real punch of flavor to anything you add it to. Used as a salad dressing it transforms a simple bowl of romaine lettuce, but works just as well as a dipping sauce for your favorite chicken wings recipe.

In a small blender, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, crumbled blue cheese (reserving some for garnish, if desired), Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder.
Blend the ingredients on a low setting until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper, blending again briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the dressing to a serving container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir the dressing before serving, garnish with reserved crumbled blue cheese (if desired), and enjoy on salads, as a dip, or as a topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
You can also mix this dressing together by hand:
Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and seasonings together until combined.
Add the blue cheese crumbles and mix them together, breaking up any large lumps as you stir.
Before serving, give the dressing a quick stir to recombine any separated ingredients.If the dressing is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or water.
