Simon and Seafort's Blue Cheese Dressing
Description
This blue cheese dressing blends a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream with blue cheese that is mashed into the mixture, creating a rich, creamy base with a distinctive sharpness from the cheese. The seasoning blend includes white pepper, salt, onion salt, and optionally monosodium glutamate to enhance umami flavors. Salad oil and water help adjust the dressing’s consistency, with wine vinegar contributing acidity and balance.
The dressing benefits from chilling overnight to let the flavors meld fully, resulting in a more pronounced blue cheese taste. Adjusting thickness can be done by adding additional water if desired. The quality of the blue cheese impacts the overall flavor, with choices like Roquefort or Gorgonzola recommended for depth.
This versatile dressing pairs well with salads needing a bold cheese flavor or can be used as a dip. It holds well stored in the refrigerator and can be adjusted for stronger or milder cheese presence.
Ingredients
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate optional
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
- 1/4 cup salad oil

- 2 ounces blue cheese
Instructions

Notes
- Use high-quality blue cheese such as Danish blue, Roquefort, or Gorgonzola for the best flavor.
- Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is optional; the dressing tastes excellent without it.
- Thin the dressing by adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if a thinner consistency is preferred.
- For a stronger cheese flavor, increase the blue cheese quantity to 3 ounces.
- Allow the dressing to chill overnight for flavors to fully develop and meld.
