Ingredients
- 150 grams bleu cheese
- 120 ml mayonnaise
- 60 ml sour cream
- 60 ml buttermilk
- 15 ml white wine vinegar
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions
In a medium bowl, crumble the bleu cheese into small chunks using a fork, leaving some slightly larger pieces for added texture.

Pour in the white wine vinegar and lemon juice, and stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. For a thinner consistency, add more buttermilk a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve your freshly made bleu cheese dressing with salads, as a dip for vegetables, or a topping for wings. Enjoy!
