Blue cheese was my first love. Even as a little girl I would always opt for the blue cheese on my tossed salad when we dined out. To this day it is one of my favourite creamy dressings, especially when paired with a classic wedge style salad. However, this dressing is more than just a one trick pony, consider using it on potato salad, to dip your pizza crust in or even as a sauce for a grilled steak.
Ingredients
- 75g blue cheese
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ teaspoon dry thyme
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the blue cheese and mash it with the back of a fork to break it into smaller pieces.
- Whisk in the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth and well combined.
- Add the thyme, onion powder, pepper, lemon juice, and salt, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
Enjoy with a classic wedge salad or try it as a dip or sauce for various dishes!
