In a mixing bowl, crumble the blue cheese into small pieces using a fork or your hands. Set aside a small portion (about 20 grams) for garnishing if desired.
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
If you prefer a thinner dressing, gradually add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dressing chilled. Drizzle over salads, use as a dip, or pair with your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
