Blue Cheese Dressing
Description
The Blue Cheese Dressing recipe includes sour cream, mayonnaise, and crumbled Danish blue cheese blended with mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. The method blends the ingredients thoroughly, with the final addition of cheese crumbles for distinctive texture. Refrigerating the dressing for 24 hours beforehand develops a deeper, well-rounded flavor. The dressing offers a balance of creaminess and tang from the sour cream and mayonnaise balanced by the pungency of blue cheese and seasoning.
The flavor is tangy and savory with a creamy base and sharpness from the blue cheese. Mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce add depth, while garlic powder and black pepper provide gentle pungency. The texture can be customized by blending fully for a smoother finish or reserving some crumbles for chunks.
This dressing is suitable for salads needing a rich component or as a dip or topping where a creamy, tangy blue cheese flavor is desired. It complements greens and vegetables well, adding both moisture and flavor. It stores well refrigerated, keeping its flavor and texture when chilled.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder dry
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt scant
- 1/3 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 4 ounces blue cheese crumbled, Danish
Instructions
- In a mixer bowl, blend the sour cream, mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder for 2 minutes at low speed.
- Add the mayonnaise. Blend for 1/2 minute at low speed and 2 minutes at medium speed.
