Ingredients
- Blue Cheese (100g, crumbled): The star ingredient, provides bold flavor.
- Mayonnaise (4 tbsp): Adds creaminess to the dressing.
- Sour Cream (4 tbsp): Balances the richness with a tangy note.
- Lemon Juice (1 tbsp): Adds freshness and a zesty flavor.
- Garlic (1 clove, minced): Optional, for a hint of savory depth.
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the base
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Add the blue cheese
Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, mashing some of the pieces with a fork to distribute the flavor while keeping some chunks intact for texture.
Step 3: Season the dressing
Stir in the minced garlic (if using) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of buttermilk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Step 4: Chill and serve
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a salad dressing, dip, or sauce.
