Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 70kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ounces blue cheese crumbled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, making sure to fully incorporate the blue cheese. Some of the cheese should be mashed in, while some pieces remain whole.
Notes
- The most important part of this dressing is the blue cheese. It's super important to find a blue cheese that you personally really like. It doesn't matter if it's a dry crumbly blue cheese, or a creamier variety. - they both work for this recipe.
- Buttermilk is also an important ingredient for this dressing. Buttermilk adds a thickness with a little bit of acidity that brightens up the rich cheese. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with heavy cream and a splash of lemon juice or just add more sour cream instead.
- When you start to incorporate the blue cheese into the mix, it helps to smash some of the cheese crumbles with the back of a spoon, so they break down and can be stirred into the dressing.
- I do like to keep a few chunks of blue cheese in the dressing, but at least half of it should be smashed and stirred in.
