- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crumble the blue cheese into small pieces. Reserve a tablespoon or two of the crumbles for garnish if desired.

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or pepper to reach your desired flavor.
For a thinner consistency, stir in an extra tablespoon of buttermilk at a time until the dressing reaches your preferred thickness.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
