Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing-Easy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

This is the best homemade blue cheese dressing recipe you will ever make!

It is thick and creamy, east to make, and wicked good!

Use it for everyday salads or special dinner entertaining!

I found this salad dressing in a little old cookbook called,"Heavenly Bits of Baptist Cookery."

Inside, I have discovered all kinds of incredible recipes in this book for some gooooooood Southern cooking.

I have learned to cook so many wonderful things from this book. My husband's granny gave it to me.

It has been a treasured jewel in my kitchen.

Church cookbooks are always the best for simple, homemade, tasty recipes… I have collected probably about 50!

How to make it

With this dressing, you literally just throw the ingredients all together in a bowl.

Mix together the ingredients and BAMB! Magic for your salads! How easy is that? 

How long does it last?

Homemade blue cheese dressing will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator if stored in airtight container.

What type of blue cheese should you use?

There are actually several types of blue cheese to use for blue cheese dressing.

Each blue cheese will give your homemade blue cheese dressing a different flavor! 

• Danish blue cheese is creamy, mild, and smooth. It is perfect if you want a mild blue cheese dressing.
• Gorgonzola is an Italian blue cheese that varies from soft to crumbly. It is made with goats milk, cows milk, or both. It is on the lighter side of flavoring in the blue cheese family.
• Maytag is an American blue cheese that is made with cows milk. It too is creamy and mild.
• If you want a strong kick or bite to your blue cheese dressing, you can try a Stilton. It is stronger and more pungent than the Danish, Gorgonzola, or Maytag.
• Roquefort is a strong, "stinky" cheese. This is a cheese only for serious blue cheese fans. It is very strong in flavor. Most people will run from stilton, so I don't recommend using it in your homemade dressing if you are making it for others to enjoy.
