In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and sour cream. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.
Add the blue cheese crumbles to the bowl. Use a fork to mash some of the crumbles for a chunkier texture, or mash thoroughly for a smoother dressing based on your preference.
Stir in the white vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed (e.g., add more vinegar for tanginess or more blue cheese for a stronger flavor).
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled over fresh salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a topping for chicken or steak.
