Blue Cheese Dressing

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.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 6 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • 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.
