- TOTAL 5min
This easy homemade blue cheese dressing is extra creamy and perfect for tossing with salad or as a dipping sauce. This dressing is pretty thick, making it perfect for dipping. For a pourable salad dressing, add a splash of milk.
You Will Need
1/4 cup mayonnaise, try homemade mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 ounces (60g) crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional
Pinch fine sea salt
Pinch fresh ground pepper
Milk, buttermilk, or water to thin out the dressing, optional
Directions
Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir until well blended and creamy.
Use the back of a spoon to press some of the blue cheese crumbles into the sauce for even more flavor. The dressing will be thick, which makes it perfect for dips.
For a pourable dressing perfect for salads, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk, buttermilk, or water. Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for one week.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Lemon juice: Lemon juice is optional, but if you have a lemon on hand, we recommend adding some lemon juice. It adds a lovely fresh pop of flavor to the dressing.
- Lighter dressing: For a lighter dressing with fewer calories, you can swap the mayonnaise for light mayo and the sour cream for plain yogurt.
