I’ve tried many different recipes for Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing. Most were okay – until this one.

I found this recipe in the cookbook Cooking for Comfort. Isn’t that perfect? Blue cheese dressing is one of the most delicious comfort foods.

I can’t wait to try the rest of her recipes. Blue cheese dressing was the first one I tried, and it was a winner.

People either love or hate blue cheese. Since you’re here, you love it. It really is a dreamy cheese.  

I called my sister to brag that I had found another perfect recipe. (She loves my recipes so much that she tries to pass them off as her own. You can read more about her sinister side in To-Die-For Meatloaf Recipe.)

By the end of the conversation, my sister had to go because she was craving buffalo wings with this easy blue cheese dressing.

Don’t you hate it when you talk on the phone and someone mentions a type of food, and you crave it for the rest of the day? It happens to me all the time.

This recipe is going to be one of your “famous” ones. The one thing everyone asks you to bring. The best part about this homemade version is it’s to make.

You might not be a great cook, but with this recipe, you don’t have to be. Wedge salad? No problem. Baked chicken wings and blue cheese dip? Easy peasy.

Have you been asked to bring something to a gathering? The answer is simple: put together a vegetable platter with blue cheese dip.

One great recipe in your arsenal can change everyone’s thoughts about your cooking skill level. Simple recipes are the best.

I saw a chef interviewed once, and he said that he’s frequently invited to potlucks. The one dish everyone asks him to bring is his Caesar’s salad. He said that he’s known throughout the world – but that’s the recipe everyone wants.

Having a couple of easy recipes to make your own salad dressings is the perfect way to start building meals everyone loves. Homemade dressings are much tastier than the bottled stuff from the grocery store.

This dressing will make the blue cheese fans in your life happy! The secret ingredient in this perfect dressing recipe is the Worcestershire sauce. It adds the right touch to take the recipe from good to great!

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

6-8 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles (depends how strong you like the dressing. I used 8. Try the 6 and taste it to see if it’s a strong enough flavor for you.)

Two shakes cayenne pepper

Freshly black ground pepper

Directions

1) In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cayenne pepper, and milk until well blended. Stir in the garlic and red wine vinegar.

2) Add the blue cheese and mix well together. Season this easy homemade dressing with freshly ground black pepper.

Tips Making This Salad Dressing

• In the original recipe, the author added a heaping 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped toasted walnuts to the dressing. She thought it added a nice crunch. I wanted a regular blue cheese dressing, so I left them out.
• Mincing a fresh garlic clove gave this dressing great flavor. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.
• Mix the dressing more if you want a more creamy dressing.
• You can use hot sauce instead of cayenne pepper.
• In a pinch, you can use garlic powder instead of minced garlic. Fresh garlic is always best.
• You can substitute plain Greek yogurt or plain yogurt for sour cream.
• Blue cheese dressing makes the perfect dip for hot wings, buffalo cauliflower, or your other favorite veggies.
• You can also use a food processor instead of whisking together the dressing.
• Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can replace red wine vinegar.
• You can add a little milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
• You can replace regular mayonnaise with light mayo to save on calories.
• If you feel this dressing needs more seasoning, add some kosher salt to taste.

To keep your blue cheese salad dressing fresh, store it in an airtight container or Mason jar with a tight-fitting lid. Use it within 5-7 days.
