Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

By , About.com Guide

This homemade blue cheese dressing is easy and fast to make, plus you can use your favorite blue cheese -- from mild and creamy to pungent and crumbly.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp. good-quality white wine or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. dry mustard
  • Salt to taste (optional)

Preparation:

In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash blue cheese into a paste or crumbly bits, depending on texture of the cheese. Work in buttermilk until it is as smooth as possible. Stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and mustard until well blended. Add salt to taste, if you like (this will depend on how salty the cheese was, you may very well not need any additional salt). Use immediately or keep, covered and chilled, up to 1 week.

Makes about 1 1/2 cup dressing.
