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!
