Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the bowl. Use the back of a fork to mash some of the blue cheese into the mixture, leaving some crumbles intact for texture.
Stir in the lemon juice, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your taste.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, veggie dip, or topping for wings. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
