Questions

How long does Blue Cheese Dressing take?

As written, 10 minutes: 10 of prep and 0 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 5, 30 minutes. That wait sits outside the stated prep and cook times, so plan around it.

Is there a substitute for buttermilk in Blue Cheese Dressing?

The entry for Blue Cheese Dressing calls for 1/4 cup buttermilk. In its place: Stir a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar into a cup of milk and let it stand five minutes. Plain yogurt thinned with milk also works.

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 many calories are in Blue Cheese Dressing?

One serving (the recipe makes 8) is about 130 calories, with 2 g protein, 7 g carbohydrate and 9 g fat, plus 1 g fiber and 65 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

How do I store and reheat Blue Cheese Dressing?

Refrigerate Blue Cheese Dressing in a sealed jar and use it within four to five days. Egg-emulsified sauces do not freeze; make only what you will use within the week.
