I’ve tried lots of different recipes for Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing. Most were okay. Nothing great.  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.

Now, I can’t wait to try the rest of her recipes. This recipe was the first one I tried, and it was a winner out of the gate.

People either love blue cheese or hate it. 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 when you talk on the phone and someone mentions a type of food, and then for the rest of the day, you’re craving it? It happens to me all the time.

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 mayonnaise

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

Tips for making Your Own Blue Cheese Dressing

  • In the original recipe, the author had 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.
  • A little bit of milk can be added if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  • You can replace regular mayonnaise with light mayo to save on calories.
  • If you feel this wonderful dressing needs more seasoning, add some kosher salt to taste.
  • I dip my grilled steak in this chunky blue cheese salad dressing. It’s so good!
  • Use a good blue cheese for the best flavor.
