Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe

Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe

One of the most popular of the mayonnaise-based salad dressings, Blue Cheese dressing is easy to make. It's fantastic on a chilled wedge of iceberg lettuce, and it makes a great dip, too!

You could use mayonnaise from a jar in this recipe -- but if you wanted that straight-from-a-jar taste, you wouldn't be reading this recipe, you'd just buy a jar of blue cheese dressing and call it a day! But if you really want the full effect, why not try making your own mayonnaise?

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ lb crumbled blue cheese
  • ¼-½ cup heavy cream
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

  1. In a glass bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and cheese.

  2. Adjust thickness by stirring in some of the cream. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Chill.

  3. Store unused portion in the refrigerator, where it should keep for a day or two.
Makes about 2 cups of dressing.
