- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat buttermilk, and crumbled bleu cheese.
Gently mash the bleu cheese with a fork to integrate it somewhat into the yogurt and buttermilk, but leave some small chunks for texture.
Add the red wine vinegar and lemon juice to the mixture, and stir until well combined.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Continue stirring until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Transfer the dressing to a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled over a fresh salad or as a dip for vegetables.
