Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Blue Cheese: Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese to incorporate it evenly throughout the dressing. For a creamier texture, mash some of the blue cheese into the mixture using the back of a spoon.
- Adjust and Chill: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken slightly.
Notes
- Use a strong, high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor impact.
- The dressing thickens as it chills, so adjust buttermilk quantity if a thinner consistency is desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
