Description
This homemade blue cheese dressing recipe is rich, creamy, and full of tangy flavor. Perfect for wings, salads, and dipping, it’s made with fresh ingredients like sour cream, buttermilk, and crumbled blue cheese. Skip the store-bought bottle and make this easy dressing from scratch in just minutes.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 to 4 tablespoons buttermilk
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and white wine vinegar until smooth.
2. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
3. Fold in the crumbled blue cheese. For a chunky texture, stir gently; for a smoother consistency, mash some of the cheese into the mix.
4. Slowly stir in buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired thickness is reached.
5. Cover and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
Notes
Use a wedge of blue cheese for maximum flavor—pre-crumbled often lacks punch.
Adjust the buttermilk to your preferred consistency—less for dip, more for dressing.
Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
