Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

This homemade blue cheese dressing recipe is so much better than store-bought! Creamy, thick, and tangy, it's a delicious salad dressing or dip.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces blue cheese crumbles
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon dried dill
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Buttermilk, milk, or water, as necessary to thin

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, place the blue cheese, mayo, sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, sugar, and several grinds of pepper. Stir to combine, breaking up the blue cheese crumbles as you mix. Season to taste, adding a pinch of salt if necessary.
  • If the dressing is too thick, add buttermilk, milk, or water, 1 teaspoon at a time, as needed to reach your desired consistency. Add less to create a thick, creamy dip and more to thin it to a drizzleable dressing.
  • Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It will thicken in the fridge. Add milk or water as needed to thin before using.
