Blue Cheese Dressing – On a budget

This blue cheese dressing recipe is so good I could literally drink it!

This rich and creamy dressing transforms the bold flavor of blue cheese into a mild dressing that’s ready in minutes.

Just add buffalo wings or drizzle over a cobb salad!

The perfect dressing for everything!

This is the best blue cheese dressing, perfect for wedge salad or for dipping buffalo wings.

• Homemade salad dressing is easy to make at home and tastes great so much better than store-bought dressings!
• This blue cheese dressing can be made ahead of time and will keep in the fridge all week.
• Rich and creamy, it has a mild blue cheese flavor.
• Reduce the milk to make a blue cheese dip and serve with Buffalo Wings or add to Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Ingredients for the Blue Cheese Dressing

• Mayo and sour cream: Mayonnaise and sour cream form the base of this dressing, with some milk/buttermilk added for consistency. To spice it up a bit, substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
• Blue Cheese: Use any type of blue cheese or blue cheese crumble. Try Gorgonzola, Stilton or Roquefort.
• The taste: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds brightness. Chives and garlic powder are mild flavorings. Fresh garlic can drown out the other flavors.

How to make Blue Cheese Dressing

To prepare a homemade blue cheese dressing:

1. For the base, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sour cream, and half the blue cheese in a blender until smooth.
2. Stir in the remaining blue cheese crumbles.
3. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

I like to keep it a little thicker for a blue cheese dip and a little thinner for a salad dressing.

Is Blue Cheese Dressing Keto? You bet! Blue cheese dressing is low carb, making it perfect for the keto diet. A tablespoon contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrates, so you won’t have to go without the Hot Wings on game day. It goes perfectly with a large steak salad or as a dip for celery!

Save homemade dressing

Homemade blue cheese dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 7 days, as long as your dairy is fresh. Store in a mason jar for easy pouring and label with the best before date.
