Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients
- Blue Cheese Tip: Use any blue cheese you love, block or crumbles, both work! Mash it smooth for even flavor, or keep it chunky if you like.
- Too strong? Swap blue cheese for Gorgonzola. It’s milder, creamier, and still gives you that bold flavor, just a little more mellow.
- Buttermilk: Add more or less buttermilk depending on how thin or thick you like your dressing. The buttermilk will thin out slightly as it sits over time.
- Add Lemon: Add a splash of fresh lemon juice for a bright pop of flavor.

Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Let it sit: For best results, let your blue cheese dressing chill for at least 8 hours or overnight. As a result, the flavors have time to mix and marry, and it makes a big difference in how good it tastes!
