What is Blue Cheese Dressing?
Make any salad better with a homemade Salad dressing. Steakhouses are famous for the Blue Cheese Wedge Salad, which our entire household loves so I wanted to make one at home. The key is a great dressing made with blue cheese.
Blue Cheese Dressing is a popular sauce for steaks or burgers, dressing for salads or dips for chips and buffalo wings. It’s commonly made with crumbled blue cheese, a creamy element like buttermilk or mayonnaise and seasonings. It’s a must have at any tailgating party, for sure!
How To Make Blue Cheese Dressing
When I first made this blue cheese dressing from scratch…..whatever I had within reach that sounded good went into this one starting with a hunk of really amazing blue cheese. The stinkier the better in my opinion.
- Crumble the blue cheese in a small bowl.
- Whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, vinegar and Worcestershire.
- Mix the cheese into the dressing.
- Stir until smooth.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- I like to leave little lumps of blue cheese in the dressing…it’s kind of like a prize for eating a salad.
The Best Way to Use Blue Cheese Dressing
This is the BEST Blue Cheese Dressing and it couldn’t be simpler to make. It’s ready in minutes and really would be fantastic on any or all salads….or on a burger.
Or mixed into some mashed potatoes (yeah, sooooo good). It’s almost better than this spicy pineapple dressing everyone keeps raving about. You have GOT to try it.
And if you’re having wings next week while watching the game….you know what to dip them in. Don’t ya?

6 Comments on “Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing”
Homemade right up my alley, my Grandmother had a boarding house in upstate NY.
She was the greatest cook alive then, in the 1940’s. I was just a kid but never missed a meal and neither did her boarder’s. They were all Engineers and Firemen that worked for the ERIE RAILROAD. Good memories.
Thank you for the wonderful REAL Blue Cheese Recipe.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
What’s alternative to Champagne vinegar?
You could use just regular distilled white vinegar, I like the champagne vinegar because it’s not as pungent.
MmmmMMMmmmm….stinky bleu cheese. 🙂 Looks like a great recipe. From a lover of bleu cheese in WI, thank you.
Thanks, Amy!
