Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz blue cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Add the lemon juice, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the seasonings are well incorporated.
Fold in the crumbled blue cheese, gently mixing until evenly distributed throughout the dressing. You can use a fork to mash some of the blue cheese into smaller pieces if a smoother dressing is preferred.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed—add a pinch more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dressing for salads, a dip for wings and veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
