Delicious Blue Cheese Dressing
Blue cheese dressing at its best — which is hard to find in grocery stores — has a remarkable cleanness about it. It wipes the palate anew with every fork-full of salad.
Hungry for this effect, and despondent after buying four different grocery store brands in vain, I searched the net and found this recipe.
It was perfect.
Delicious Blue Cheese Dressing
12 ounces sour cream
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellman’s or Dukes)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon onion salt
2 cloves garlic, mincedMix all ingredients together, except blue cheese. Add bleu cheese and stir just enough to distribute evenly. The mixture will be very thick. If you like, add a little more buttermilk to thin it out.
Pour the finished dressing into large container and store in refrigerator. It will keep indefinitely.
Yields 3 cups, perhaps? Enough for 10 or 20 salads!
I find it tastes best on a very simple salad: Chopped Romaine lettuce with sliced Roma tomatoes, a handful of baby carrots, and a few small rings of red onion on top as garnish.
