Homemade Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
I have a big character flaw. I am a HUGE salad dressing SNOB. I stick my nose up at anything that isn’t homemade. I will give you a glare if you try to serve me something with that fake store bought mess. If I am at your house and you serve me a salad with salad dressing that didn’t at least from the refrigerated section, I will politely smile, eat it, and say thank you (my mama taught me manners). But in my head, I am having a temper tantrum, rolling my eyes, and possibly gagging. If it is the fake ranch, I am probably swearing… YUK!!
Why oh Why would you want to use store-bought dressing when homemade is so easy? Salad dressing is one of the easiest things you can make in the kitchen?
I understand maybe moms giving their kids the yucky plastic bottled stuff because kids are weird, picky little eaters with undeveloped taste buds that don’t know any better half of the time, but why would an adult want that stuff????? Ewe!

Copycat Olive Garden Salad Dressing
Creamy Parmesan Salad Dressing
I make almost all of my salad dressings homemade. My Copycat Olive Garden Salad Dressing and my Creamy Parmesan Salad Dressing are two other salad dressing recipes that are easy to make quick that you must try!!!
If we go out to eat, I always ask which dressings are homemade. If they don’t have any homemade my husband gives me a look like a deer in headlights. I know he is thinking, “Uh oh, here we go again… Just suck it up.” He could care less. If they don’t have anything homemade, I pout, sometimes refuse to eat it; or if I do eat it, I eat it with a disdained disgusted look on my face. I am not good at faking facial expressions.
What can I say? It is my character flaw. If I owned a restaurant, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would serve FAKE SALAD DRESSINGS!!! Why go through the expense, time, and effort to serve a beautiful fresh salad just to turn around and top it with some bland, full of preservatives, highly processed, fake colored tasteless sauce? Inquiring minds want to know.
My daughter is the COMPLETE opposite of me. She loves that Kraft stuff that makes me want to vomit. I have to have the homemade ranch. She has a fit if it doesn’t get squeezed from the bottle. She takes after her father’s side… My son, however, is a true foodie like me and favors the real stuff. While he is much more polite and less obnoxious about his dressings; if it isn’t a homemade vinaigrette, he will politely accept the salad and pick it like a bird barely eating it…
To save you the dilemma of buying that Gawd Awful plastic bottle blue cheese mystery stuff, I am sharing with you the BEST Homemade Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe ever!!! You are welcome! 
I found it in this little cookbook called,“Heavenly Bits of Baptist Cookery.” I have found all kinds of incredible recipes in this book for some gooooooood Southern cooking. As you can see, I have used this book just a little bit. I inherited it from my husband’s granny. It has been a treasured jewel in my kitchen. I have found church cookbooks are always the best… I have collected probably about 50…
With this dressing, you literally just throw the ingredients all together in a bowl and BAMB! Magic for your salads! How easy is that? You’re welcome! 🙂 Enjoy! this dressing.
If you are a blue cheese (aka “stinky cheese”) lover like me, check out: Blue Cheese Compound Butter, Individual Bread Dressing with Pears, Bacon, and Blue Cheese, and Pear, Blue Cheese, and Caramelized Onion Galette! You will love these recipes also.

Just made this, and it’s delicious! For the people (I use to be you.) that say they don’t like blue cheese dressing, it’s only because you haven’t had homemade!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Katie says
That sounds delicious! I love a good wedge salad and this one sounds spectacular. Thanks for sharing.

I saw Mike Collameco at a place in Queens called M.Wells and here’s what the chef there did. Half a head of iceberg on the hot grill for just a char. Quarter that into a wedge. Gently separate the leaves and put about a quarter pound of rendered pork belly or thick bacon (couldn’t we use some jowl bacon here?) in between the leaves. Don’t do this sparingly. Add smoked salted pecan bits in with the pork as you go. THEN take a slathering of YOUR bleu cheese (or gorgonzola) dressing over the top and eat that thing. Since ya’ll like to travel, you need to go to the big apple. Watch every episode of Collameco before you go and take notes.

Hi Kathryn… serving size is about 2 tbs. Based on what is pulling up that I can see on the back end, the total carb amount for the entire recipe is so small, that it is saying the serving has no carbs… but basically there is about 1/10th of a carb in a serving… it just is so small it does not populate.
Kathryn Smith says
What is the serving size that goes with the nutritional facts? I may have just missed it. And any carbs?

A helpful hint for those who like Duke’s or Blue Plate – both can be found on Walmart.com and shipped to the door. I buy Duke’s by the gallon from Walmart.com cheaper than I can buy a gallon of store brand mayonnaise from Sam’s Club. We make a lot of cole slaw, potato salad, dressings, etc, so we go through a lot of mayonnaise. Hellman’s has gotten terribly expensive, so it’s Duke’s or Blue Plate for me.

I just made a half recipe of this for a “dinner for two”. Wonderful!! Family recipes from a cookbook or those just from memory are the best. Thanks so much for sharing!
Michelle @ Vitamin Sunshine says
I’m totally with you– salad dressings are way better homemade. I haven’t bought a jar in years and years. This one looks really special!
Diana says
This is something my Mum will love as she’s a big fan of blue cheese!
Mahy says
That has to be one of my favorite dressings ever!! I absolutely love the touch of hot sauce you added, I think it makes all the difference! Can’t wait to make it!
Traci The Kitchen Girl says
Oh goodness…If I find myself at a party…with this dip…I WILL eat the whole thing – and never be invited back LOL. Ok, srsly, that’s how much I love this dip. Thanks for sharing!
Lauren says
Hand down cookbooks are just the best – looks plenty loved.
Katie says
I prefer Dukes. I am not sure where you live. I know they sell it here in the South. It tastes like it is homemade. If you can find it, you will love it. I would use Kraft as a second choice. I am pretty sure they sell that everywhere.
Sally says
I have a very similar blue cheese dressing recipe that I absolutely love. What mayo do you use? I have noticed lately that when I store it for a few days the consistancy changes dramatically and it becomes very soupy. I use Hellman’s and I did read that their recipe has changed. That is the only difference I can think of. I used to make it all the time and never had this problem at all.

This resembles the blue cheese dressing my grandmother used to make every Sunday to go with her iceberg lettuce salad! Also, I can’t tell you how many of those types of cookbooks I have!
Georgina @theamazingflavoursofbrazil.com says
Looks fantastic Katie, I am crazy about blue cheese, anything with blue cheese. I am pinning this recipe straight away.
Ann| Cooking Maniac says
this looks so yummy! can’t wait to try it 🙂
Siri & Joseph says
I love this recipe. I have never thought about making this at home, but I will try it for sure.
karrie @ Tasty Ever After says
I feel the absolute same way about salad dressings! AND blue cheese dressing is my favorite! We always had homemade salad dressing growing up but then I would go over to a friend’s house for dinner and the bottled dressing would be on the table. Ugh. I think people don’t know how easy it is to make them at home, so they just buy a bottle. Thanks for this recipe and for educating the world Katie. lol! 🙂
Tez @ Chile and Salt says
This looks so good Katie! & I love anything Blue Cheese!!
