Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Blue cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.33 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Stir with a whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the mixture, reserving a small amount for garnishing if desired. Mash the blue cheese into the dressing with the back of a spoon or a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Stir in the white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, stir the dressing once more and sprinkle with the reserved blue cheese crumbles for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve with salads, as a dip for wings or vegetables, or drizzle over baked potatoes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
