    We love this simple and decadent Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe very much. It’s so rich, creamy with the perfect amount of blue cheese flavor. Not only is this a great recipe for a variety of salads (our Grilled BLTA Gem Salad Recipe in particular), but it also makes a fantastic dip with things like buffalo wings, buffalo cauliflower, homemade potato chips, and so much more!

    Our easy recipe comes together in no time (just 5 minutes!) and will stay fresh for up to 10 days! We highly recommend our blue cheese dressing recipe for your next crisp salad or dipping situation.

    How to Make Easy Blue Cheese Dressing

    Ingredients

    Ingredients to make a blue cheese dressing recipe.

    1. Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl.

    Tips and Tricks for Success

    • Although you can use the blue cheese dressing right away, I recommend making, covering and refrigerating the dressing for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together nicely.
    • If you make the dressing for a later use give the dressing a quick shake in its bottle or jar, before using, to account for any separation.
    • Although the dressing will probably keep for up to 2 weeks, we recommend up to 10 days for quality purposes.

    Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe Variations

    • Our recipe results in a thick and dreamy dressing, but it you would like a thinner dressing (or dip), you can stir in about 1/4-1/3 cup of buttermilk.
    • For a slightly healthier alternative you can swap the mayo out for greek yogurt.
    • If you don’t have a lemon or lemon juice on hand you can replace it with some white or white wine vinegar.
    • Other herbs like thyme, dill and parsley also make great additions to this dressing!

    Storage Instructions

    Once the dressing is made, store in an airtight glass bottle or jar and refrigerate for up to 10 days. When ready to use, shake the dressing up and serve.
