Blue (bleu) Cheese Dressing for Dummies

"Finally! I found out how to make a wonderful bleu cheese dressing at home. I've tried so many, with all kinds of ingredients, but none of them came out wonderful until this one! And it's so simple, anyone can make it and feel like a real gor-may type chef! I usually use light (not the non-fat)mayo and sour cream and it's incredibly rich."

directions

  • Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, pepper, salt and half of the bleu cheese in food processor or blender.
  • Process until well combined.
  • Remove to storage container, and stir in remaining bleu cheese.
  • If too thick, stir in milk or water until of desired consistency.
  • On the off chance you've got any left over, store tightly covered in the refrigerator for no more than 5 days.
  • Not that it will be likely to stay around that long.

Questions & Replies

  1. Never mind! I found it!
     
  2. Is the nutritional info. listed somewhere?
     
  3. Made this yesterday, but just stirred the ingredients together. It got really runny over time. Why? I don't have a food processor, will my blender do the trick?

  1. Hello, ThatBobbieGirl. I made a batch of this for my own personal salad on Christmas Eve, and it is really good,for such an easy thing. I may have processed mine too long,because it was a little runny,but I threw in a LOT of bleu cheese,more cracked pepper than called for,and for some wonderful reason, I bought a really good,ripe lemon, for a change,which really "Tanged" it up. I know I will be making this again,VERY soon! Thank you so much!
     
  2. Wonderful dressing...it's perfect, and sooo easy! Thanks TBG, I will never buy another "bottle" of blue cheese dressing again!
     
  3. I always just use recipes for inspiration. I gleen bits from many, combine and tweek. This one is pretty much a standard blue cheese format that I would suggest to a friend. All the right stuff in the right ratios. I use gorgonzola and Greek yogurt. I also add buttermilk to thin to desired point. I like a black pepper hint in every taste so I use fine grind vs. course grind. I top salad with extra cheese crumble, dried cranberries, bacon crumbles and a balsamic reduction for a perfect full meal salad.
     
  4. There should be no reason to ever buy prepared sauce again. Tweak with gorgonzola for a stronger presence of flavor. Tweak again with plain Greek yogurt versus sour cream...always go for the all natural, no thickness added brands.
     
  5. This is SOOOOO delicious! I used 1/2 cup of blue cheese crumbles and added 2 T. of Frank's hot sauce and it was just PERFECT! I used it on salad and to dip celery in. I will be making this over and over again! I appreciated that it was not a huge recipe since I'm the only one that loves blue cheese dressing at my house. I love how QUICK & easy it was to make and used ingredients that I already had on hand!

Tweaks

  1. Plain yogurt... instead of sour cream. Gorgonzola... instead of blue cheese.
     
  2. I used 1/2 cup of blue cheese crumbles and added 2 T. of Frank's hot sauce.
     
  3. Really good. I subbed the sour cream for my favorite farmers market fresh sheeps milk Greek yogurt ( I don't eat sour cream and this is a perfect substitute) - really great! Also used some Bleu Cheese I got at the farmers market - best I've ever had - comes from a farm in Buellton, Ca. Nothing short of awesome! Look out Bob's and Marie's - I'll never go back!
