Ingredients for Blue Cheese Dressing

Mayo & Sour Cream: Mayonnaise and sour cream make the base of this dressing with a bit of milk/buttermilk added for consistency. To lighten it up a bit, replace the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
Blue cheese: Use any kind of blue cheese or blue cheese crumbles. Try gorgonzola, stilton, or Roquefort.
Flavor: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds brightness. Chives and garlic powder are mild aromatics. Fresh garlic can overpower the other flavors.

How To Make Blue Cheese Dressing

To make homemade blue cheese dressing:

For the base, blend mayonnaise, lemon juice, sour cream, and 1/2 of the blue cheese in a blender until smooth.
Stir in the remaining blue cheese crumbles.
Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency.

I like to keep it a little thicker for a blue cheese dip, and a little thinner if it’s a salad dressing.

Use a blender or food processor to make a smooth dressing and blend some of the cheese in.

If you don’t have a blender, an immersion blender or hand blender works well and can be used for everything from smoothies to soups. Thay’re available here on Amazon and start as low as $12 (with great reviews).

Is Blue Cheese Dressing Keto? You bet! Blue cheese dressing is low carb, making it perfect for the keto diet. One tablespoon has under 1 gram of carbs, so you don’t have to sacrifice those hot wings during game day. It’s perfect over a big steak salad or as a dipper for celery!

Storing Homemade Dressing

Homemade blue cheese dressing will last in the fridge for up to 7 days as long as your dairy is fresh. Keep it in a mason jar for easy pouring and label it with the best before date.
