Ingredients
Scale
Dressing Base
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (more for desired consistency)
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, vinegar or lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add blue cheese: Stir in the crumbled blue cheese and mash slightly with a fork to blend, leaving some chunks to add texture and bite to the dressing.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to balance the flavor. If a thinner consistency is desired, gradually whisk in additional buttermilk.
- Chill to develop flavors: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and intensify for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream.
- The dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week when stored in an airtight container.
- This dressing pairs well with salads, chicken wings, and vegetable trays.
