Best Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe

I have loved blue cheese dressing since I first tried it at The Lyon’s Den restaurant in Covina, California, when I was about eight years old. Today I even like to go to restaurants based on their blue cheese dressing. A couple of good ones are Texas Roadhouse, Outback Steakhouse, and OMC (Oink, Moo, Cluck) in my town.

I’ve made a few batches at home over the years, and finally adjusted one I found online to be just what I like. I love a good Cobb Salad, and they’re so good with blue cheese dressing!

Best Blue Cheese Dressing

10 ounces blue cheese
¾ cup buttermilk
¾ cup sour cream
¾ cup mayonnaise
8 t. white vinegar
1 t. sugar
½  t. garlic powder
3/4 t. salt
Generous amount of fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Mash the blue cheese and buttermilk together in a bowl with a fork until the mixture resembles large-curd cottage cheese.

Stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and garlic powder until well blended. Add salt and stir well, then season with black pepper.

If you like it a bit more tangy, you could up the sour cream 1 T. at a time. The original recipe I messed around with was too tart for me, and I ended up using more mayonnaise than they recommended. This is the one I ended up with, and love the most. And it’s soooo good with steak, dipping veggies (raw or roasted), and for tossing a chopped salad in.

Let me know if you make it, and have a great week!
