Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
Description
This Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe combines creamy elements—yogurt and mayonnaise—with sharp crumbled blue cheese, tangy apple cider vinegar, fine red onion, and Dijon mustard for complexity. The ingredients are stirred together until mixed smooth, with optional thinning by milk, buttermilk, or water to reach a preferred thickness.
While the dressing is usable immediately, allowing it to rest refrigerated for about 30 minutes deepens the flavor and melds the components. This dressing offers a punchy, creamy complement to salads and other dishes requiring a bold, tangy sauce.
Ingredients
- ½ cup yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbled
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red onion finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- milk or buttermilk or water, to thin dressing
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
- If you'd like a thinner dressing, mix in the milk, buttermilk, or water.
- While you can use this dressing right away, the flavor is better if you let it rest in your fridge for 30 minutes.
