Ingredients
Dressing Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup buttermilk (or heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small garlic clove (minced)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 ounces blue cheese (crumbled)
Instructions
- Stir together the base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Add the blue cheese: Fold in the crumbled blue cheese and continue whisking gently until well combined. The dressing should have small clumps of blue cheese for texture.
- Use or store: Use the dressing immediately on salads or as a dip, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For a thinner consistency, add a small amount of water and mix well.
Notes
- This dressing is naturally thick and creamy; add water to thin if desired.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within one week for best freshness.
- Substitute heavy cream for buttermilk if preferred.
- Perfect accompaniment for salads, steak, wings, or as a dip for veggies.
