Ingredients

Scale

Dressing Base

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cheese and Garnish

  • 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add blue cheese: Fold in the crumbled blue cheese carefully, stirring until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning: Sample the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste.
  5. Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top for a fresh herbal note and a pop of color.

Notes

  • For a chunkier texture, mash half of the blue cheese into the dressing and leave the rest in crumbles.
  • Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a little extra buttermilk until desired consistency is reached.
