For a long time, I wanted nothing to do with Blue Cheese Dressing. It held no appeal but as I’ve gotten older, I like to think I’ve gotten wiser! Once I realized I could make this Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe at home, I started enjoying it a lot more!
There’s just something about being able to make an easy homemade recipe!
Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
I think one of the reasons I hadn’t developed a love for blue cheese salad dressing is because it seemed like it would be complicated to make. It felt like something I could only indulge in when we went out to eat.
Then I learned that just wasn’t true! With our homemade blue cheese dressing recipe, even I can make it at home!
The great thing about this recipe is that it does double duty too! It’s great on salads but is just as delicious when used as a dip for things like wings!

Hi,
I’m trying this today, but was wondering how long will it keep?
Mariah says
About 5 days in the refrigerator. I wouldn’t keep it more than 7 days.
Alice says
I love this dressing but I’ve found after one day in the fridge, it thins out almost to a mild consistency…..I end up throwing it out. I do use lower fat sour cream and wonder if that is causing it….
Susan Esteph says
How much buttermilk and how much blue cheese? The recipe seems to combine the two…
Virginia says
Delicious. I make it for my Friend and he thinks this is an elaborate recipe.He even brought the jar to a diner and a fellow diner inquired about it. She thought it was the best dressing she had ever eaten after he graciously offered a taste
Virginia says
This is so easy to make. I make this for my friend and he says this is the best he has ever tasted.

How would crushed garlic go in this recipe?
Holly Mchugh says
This dressing is amazing.. however I did not have enough sour cream so I used a quarter cup sour cream and a quarter cup of my plain yogurt it turned out awesome thank you for your recipe I look forward to seeing more!!
