Tips for making Your Own Blue Cheese Dressing
- In the original recipe, the author had added a heaping 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped toasted walnuts to the dressing. She thought it added a nice crunch. I wanted a regular blue cheese dressing, so I left them out.
- Mincing a fresh garlic clove gave this dressing great flavor. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.
- Mix the dressing more if you want a more creamy dressing.
- You can use hot sauce instead of cayenne pepper.
- In a pinch, you can use garlic powder instead of minced garlic. Fresh garlic is always best.
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt or plain yogurt for sour cream.
- Blue cheese dressing makes the perfect dip for hot wings, buffalo cauliflower, or your other favorite veggies.
- You can also use a food processor instead of whisking together the dressing.
- Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can replace red wine vinegar.
- A little bit of milk can be added if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- You can replace regular mayonnaise with light mayo to save on calories.
- If you feel this wonderful dressing needs more seasoning, add some kosher salt to taste.
- I dip my grilled steak in this chunky blue cheese salad dressing. It’s so good!
- Use a good blue cheese for the best flavor.
