Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120 g) mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) buttermilk (or regular milk for a thinner consistency)
- 1/3 cup (75 g) crumbled blue cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional for extra depth)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Mix the base:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the flavor:
- Stir in lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Fold in the blue cheese:
- Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese.
- For a smoother dressing, mash some of the blue cheese into the dressing base; for chunkier dressing, leave larger pieces intact.
4. Chill and serve:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- Stir before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Garnish:
- Sprinkle with extra crumbled blue cheese or fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality blue cheese (like Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or Stilton) for the best flavor.
- Thin out the dressing with extra buttermilk if needed for drizzling consistency.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
