Ingredients
- 120 grams blue cheese, crumbled
- 225 grams cream cheese, softened
- 120 ml sour cream
- 60 grams walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 15 ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the walnuts for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool before chopping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, softened cream cheese, and sour cream.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the toasted and chopped walnuts, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with crackers, vegetable sticks, or pita chips. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
