Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt and low-fat buttermilk. Whisk together until smooth and fully blended.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the mixture. Using a fork, mash some of the blue cheese crumbles into the yogurt mixture to incorporate the flavors, while leaving some chunks for texture.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.
If the dressing is too thick for your preference, add an extra tablespoon of buttermilk and stir until the desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the blue cheese dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the dressing a good stir and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve as a salad dressing, dip for vegetables, or drizzle over your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
