Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the blue cheese crumbles to the bowl. Use a whisk or spoon to gently break down the larger chunks of blue cheese, leaving some texture for a rich, chunky dressing.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or drizzle. Enjoy!
