Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cultured buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp finely minced shallot, or more to taste
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper is optional, add to taste
- 5-6 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, divided
Instructions
- Blend or process the sour cream, buttermilk, mayo, lemon juice, shallot, salt, and half of the blue cheese until creamy. (Break the cheese up before adding it to the blender or processor.)
- Add the rest of the cheese to the processor, breaking it up into chunks first. Just pulse a few times to mix it in while still retaining some texture.
- Taste the dressing to adjust any of the flavorings. You might want more salt, or more lemon juice.
- Transfer the dressing to a clean jar with a lid. Refrigerate until needed. Gorgonzola dressing will last up to 10 days in the fridge.

Notes
- At Italian/American Manero's restaurant, home of the original Gorgonzola salad, they would actually freeze a block of Gorgonzola cheese and grate it onto their iceberg lettuce salads which, come to think of it is a genius method for distributing the strongly flavored cheese in a salad ~ the large crumbles can be quite pungent. If you use Gorgonzola dolce, which is soft, not crumbly, this method would be helpful if you want to garnish your salad with more cheese.
