- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the crumbled blue cheese. Using a fork, gently mash some of the crumbles to create a more even texture, leaving chunks if you prefer a chunkier dressing.

Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
If desired, fold in finely chopped chives for an added burst of flavor and color.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice depending on your preference.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, stir the dressing to recombine any separated ingredients. Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce.
