Blue cheese dressing is a classic for good reason! Blue cheese adds some funk to this irresistibly creamy, tangy dressing, while chives keep it fresh. Recipe yields 1 ½ cups. 

blue cheese dressing recipe

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (4 ounces) sour cream 
  • ¾ cup (3 ounces) crumbled blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola dolce
  • ¼ cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice 
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives or green onion (mostly green parts)
  • 1 small clove garlic, pressed or minced 
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Taste, and add another pinch of salt and/or several more twists of black pepper until it’s just right. For the best flavor, let the mixture chill for 30 minutes before serving. 
  2. Drizzle over your salad or cover and refrigerate for later. Leftovers will keep well in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
