Blue Cheese Dressing
Description
This dressing blends sour cream and mayonnaise to create a thick, creamy base. Garlic powder and white pepper add subtle savory notes while Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice provide tang and depth. Blue cheese crumbles are folded in to contribute a distinctive sharpness and texture, complemented by fresh parsley for a mild herbaceous hint. Mixing until smooth with visible chunks balances creaminess and piquant cheese flavor.
The dressing is ready to use immediately but benefits from chilling for a few hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and thicken. It can accompany leafy green salads, vegetable crudités, buffalo wings, or be spread on sandwiches. The recipe yields approximately 1 3/4 cups, with a serving size of about 3 tablespoons.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ teaspoons lemon juice
- ¾ cup blue cheese crumbled
- 1 tablespoon parsley freshly chopped
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, white pepper, worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Whisk together until smooth.
- Stir in the blue cheese crumbles and chopped parsley. Taste for seasonings and adjust as necessary.
- Dressing can be used immediately, but it will get thicker and the flavors will marry if allowed to chill, covered in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Notes
- Produces about 1 3/4 cups of dressing; a serving is about 3 tablespoons.
- Chill dressing for several hours or overnight to thicken and let flavors meld fully.
