Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
Description
Beginning with a base of mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk, this dressing balances creaminess and pourable consistency. The addition of distilled vinegar and Worcestershire sauce gives a slight acidity and umami depth. Garlic granules, sugar, salt, and cracked black pepper season the mixture evenly before folding in good-quality crumbled blue cheese for texture and flavor.
The lightly mixed blue cheese maintains some chunkiness rather than fully blending, lending the dressing its characteristic feel. Refrigerating allows the flavors to meld and intensify. This dressing complements salads that benefit from a strong, creamy accent and can also be used as a dip for vegetables or wings.
The recipe allows flexibility with garlic substitution and optional hot sauce for heat. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, making it suitable to prepare ahead.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons distilled vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt coarse
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbled, good
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper until completely combined.
- Next, fold in the blue cheese gently until combined. Don’t over mix.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Prepare the dressing up to 3 days in advance to let flavors develop fully before serving.
- Store in the refrigerator covered for up to 10 days and stir before use.
- Fresh garlic can replace garlic granules for a different flavor profile.
- Optional hot sauce can be added to introduce a spicy note as desired.
- Adjust the amount of buttermilk to achieve your preferred dressing thickness.
