Ingredients

4 oz blue cheese (such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort), crumbled

2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

1

In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup buttermilk. Whisk until smooth.
2

Stir in 1 clove minced garlic and 2 tsp white wine vinegar.
3

Fold in about two-thirds of the 4 oz crumbled blue cheese (such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort), mashing slightly with a fork to create a creamy base while leaving some chunks intact.
4

Season with 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine.

Top with the remaining blue cheese (such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Store covered for up to one week.

Questions

Can I make Blue Cheese Dressing dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (4 oz blue cheese (such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort), crumbled, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free sauce collection instead.

How long does Blue Cheese Dressing keep?

Refrigerated in a sealed jar, it keeps four to five days. Egg-emulsified sauces do not freeze; make only what you will use within the week.

Can I halve or double Blue Cheese Dressing?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
