Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional, to balance the tanginess
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon for stirring
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Refrigerator (for chilling)

Method
 

  1. Make the Base: In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth.
  2. Add Some Flavors: Add the Worcester sauce, garlic powder, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and sugar (if using). Mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Soften Blue Cheese: Fold in the blue cheese and stir to combine. It would help to leave some chunks of blue cheese intact for texture.
  4. Season: Taste the dressing and season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Adjust the lemon juice or sugar to get precisely the tang you want if you like.
  5. Chill: Let the dressing chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.
  6. Serve: Drizzle on wedge salads, use as a dip for veggies or pair it with grilled meats and fries.

Notes

Adjust the consistency: If you prefer a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of buttermilk or add extra blue cheese. For a thinner consistency, add more buttermilk.
Blue Cheese Variety: The type of blue cheese you use will impact the flavor. Gorgonzola offers a milder taste, while Roquefort will provide a stronger, more pungent flavor.

Storage: This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Be sure to stir well before using, as it may thicken over time.
Make it lighter: To reduce calories, you can substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise or sour cream.
