Northwoods Inn Creamy Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by sassy47

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cour cream
3 garlic clives, minced
1 tbls sweet hungarian paprika
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Chill at least 3-4 hrs to let flavors meld. Best served tossed onto chopped iceberg lettuce.

Tips:

  • Fresh buttermilk is key. Buttermilk that has been sitting in the fridge for weeks will not have the same flavor or consistency as fresh buttermilk.
  • Use high-quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dressing. Look for a good-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Add some herbs. Fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, or parsley, can add a lot of flavor to the dressing. You can also use dried herbs, but fresh herbs are always best.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste. The amount of salt, pepper, and lemon juice you add to the dressing will depend on your personal preference. Taste the dressing as you go and adjust the seasonings until it is to your liking.
  • Let the dressing sit for a while before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Creamy buttermilk dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, from simple green salads to more complex salads with grilled chicken or fish. It is also a great dressing for vegetables, such as roasted potatoes or asparagus. With its creamy texture and tangy flavor, creamy buttermilk dressing is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
