Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Crumbled bleu cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the lemon juice, white vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Gently fold in the crumbled bleu cheese, being careful not to break it down too much as the chunks add texture to the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, a dip for vegetables or chicken wings, or as a sauce drizzled over your favorite dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
