The BEST Blue Cheese Dressing. Creamy, rich and tangy this blue cheese dressing goes perfectly on salads or as a dip! Ready in less than 5 minutes and only requires a handful of pantry ingredients. So much better than store bought!
Blue cheese dressing has to be hands down my favorite condiment! It is amazing with anything that involves buffalo sauce and is perfectly rich, tangy and creamy! This blue cheese dressing recipe tastes so much better than store bought and only requires a few ingredients. All you need for this recipe is some pantry staples and a few minutes of prep time.
I always find this dip tastes better the longer it sits. I like to make this dressing a couple hours ahead of time or even the day before to really let the flavors develop.
Homemade blue cheese dressing is typically made with buttermilk, or vinegar for some acidity. I choose to use fresh lemon juice instead to lighten up the dressing. I also added sour cream to give the dressing a bit of tang.
When you are making this dressing at home I would suggest whisking the dressing first before adding in the blue cheese crumbles. After you’re done whisking, fold in your blue cheese crumbles delicately so you still get large chunks of blue cheese in the dressing. If you prefer your dressing on the smoother / creamy side blend it up in the food processor or blender.

- Garlic Powder: You can also use fresh garlic if you have that on hand!
- Worcestershire sauce: Adds a nice
- Blue Cheese Crumbles: I prefer to use danish blue cheese crumbles! It’s on the milder side and is super creamy. You can also use gorgonzola!
- Chives: Add a nice pop of green and a bit of onion flavor to the dressing. You can substitute fresh chopped parsley or green onions instead.
