Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

Rich and creamy with the unmistakable “bite” of real blue cheese, this Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing is perfect for serving with fresh salads and vegetables, sandwiches and burgers, grilled beef and chicken, and more. It’s quick and easy to make, and absolutely delicious!

RECIPE TIPS

A creamier blue cheese – such as AmaBlu – will create richer flavor (versus a dryer cheese). Whether you use pre-crumbled blue cheese or crumble it yourself, look for lots of “blue” veining and a creamier texture.

While this dressing is delicious as soon as it’s made, letting the flavors come together for an hour or so (or overnight, if possible) before serving is best!

SERVING IDEAS for HOMEMADE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

• Serve chilled and crumble more blue cheese on top and add a few grinds of fresh black or multi-colored pepper for a nice presentation.

• Blackened Steak Salad – check out this Classic recipe!
• Classic Wedge Salads
• Serve as a dip w/ fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, etc.), Romaine lettuce hearts, etc.
• This dressing is also great with grilled steaks and chicken, as a sandwich spread and burger topping, salads (of course), and as a dip for black pepper kettle-style potato chips.

ENJOY!
