Recipe Ingredients:
- 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
How To Make Blue Cheese Dressing?
- Combine the main ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, parsley, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper until well blended and creamy.
- Enhance the flavor: Use the back of a spoon to mash some of the blue cheese crumbles into the mixture for extra flavor.
- Adjust the consistency: For a thick dip, leave as is. For a pourable dressing, stir in 15–30ml (1–2 tablespoons) of milk, buttermilk, or water until the desired consistency is reached.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the dressing and add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
- Store and serve: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Enjoy with salads, vegetables, or as a dip.
Recipe Tips:
- Use high-quality blue cheese: For the best flavor, choose a creamy and flavorful blue cheese like Roquefort, Stilton, or Gorgonzola. Freshly crumbled cheese works better than pre-packaged.
- Mash the cheese for extra flavor: Use a spoon to press some blue cheese crumbles into the mixture. This makes the dressing even creamier and more flavorful.
- Balance the consistency: Start with the dressing thick, then gradually add milk, buttermilk, or water to get the perfect pourable consistency for your needs.
- Let it chill before serving: Allow the dressing to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors blend beautifully.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: Always taste before serving. A pinch more salt, lemon juice, or pepper can make a huge difference in bringing out the flavors.
How To Store Leftovers?
First, let the blue cheese dressing sit until it reaches room temperature. Then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to one week.
