    ingredients to make blue cheese dressing

    Ingredients

    For this chunky blue cheese recipe, you need the following ingredients:

    • sour cream
    • mayonnaise- Dukes or Hellmans works the best for this recipe.
    • fresh lemon juice-Do not substitute with imitation lemon juice.
    • blue cheese
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • minced garlic-You can substitute with garlic powder.
    • hot sauce-Use your favorite brand. I like Texas Pete for this recipe.
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Note: Use a good blue cheese for this dressing. I personally prefer crumbling it myself for a more fresh cheese.

    Steps to make

    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.

    Different ways to use blue cheese dressing

    Blue cheese is amazing on salad, but it is also fantastic on many other things! Try this homemade blue cheese dressing on the following:

    • Use it as a sandwich spread.
    • Put it on a burger.
    • Use it for my  spicy buffalo wings dip.
    • Use it for a dip for pretzels or homemade chips.
    • Use it in potato salad rather than mayonnaise.
    • Drizzle on pizza.
    • Toss it with cut up raw cauliflower and broccoli for a broccoli/cauliflower blue cheese salad
    • Use it as a dip for my buffalo cauliflower bites
    • Use it as a dip for french fries
    • Add it to a baked potato
