Blue Cheese Dressing
Faith's Blue Cheese Dressing
1/4 pound blue cheese
3/4 cup mayonaise and/or sour cream
1 T. vegetable oil
2 T. lemon juice or red wine vinegar, to taste
1 tsp. grated lemon peel, chopped chives, or parsley
water, to thin
Crumble the blue cheese into a bowl. Add the mayonaise, oil and lemon juice or vinegar. Stir in the seasonings. Add just enough water to give the dressing a spreading consistency; it will still be quite thick. Don't over-stir. The dressing is best with little chunks of blue cheese in it.
Traditionally served with Buffalo Wings
Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
from https://www.seriouseats.com/
2 ounces (60g) mild blue cheese
1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise
1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk
1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh juice from 1 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt (if needed)
In a medium bowl, mash blue cheese with a whisk. Whisk in mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and lemon juice until a smooth, slightly lumpy dressing forms. Season with pepper. (The blue cheese will likely make the dressing salty enough, but taste and add salt if necessary.) Serve.
Makes 1 1/2 cups
