The best blue cheese dressing is a creamy, rich, and tangy dressing perfect for a tasty salad or a dipping sauce for vegetables or chips. Nothing’s better than a homemade chunky blue cheese dressing that’s incredibly easy to make.
Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients
In my books, a blue cheese dressing is better when homemade because it’s free of additives, and preservatives often found in the store-bought version. Plus, I can make it suitable for my taste, rich with chunky blue cheese crumbles.
Skip store-bought blue cheese salad dressing and gather all the ingredients needed:
- Blue cheese – I used Gorgonzola because it’s super creamy, but my top 3 cheeses to choose from are: Gorgonzola, Roquefort(strong flavor), and Stilton.
- Sour cream
- Mayonnaise
- Fresh parsley – Fresh herbs add so much flavor to the dressing.
- seasonings
- Lemon juice – I love my dressing a little tangy, but feel free to omit and add a little sweetener if you prefer a balanced sweeter taste.
- Milk or water – Consider adding a little milk or water depending on the desired thickness. For a pourable salad dressing, add a splash of milk or water.
