Best 7 Killer Blue Cheese Dressing Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

If you're a fan of blue cheese dressing, then you know that not all dressings are created equal. Some are too thin, some are too thick, and some just don't have enough flavor. But the perfect blue cheese dressing is creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor. It's the perfect complement to a salad, sandwich, or burger. The secret to a great blue cheese dressing is all in the ingredients. You'll need good quality mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, blue cheese crumbles, and a few seasonings. The type of blue cheese you use will also make a difference. For a milder flavor, use a milder blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola. For a more intense flavor, use a sharper blue cheese, such as Roquefort.

UNIVERSALLY USEFUL BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Universally Useful Blue Cheese Dressing image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ounces (1 1/2 cups) crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (recommended: Lea and Perrins)
1 teaspoon steak sauce (recommended: A1)
1/3 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, good white wine vinegar, or white balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • I promised a trio of sauces, but I just had to get this in under the wire. If you like blue cheese - as I, swooningly, do - then know that this, dribbled over sliced, sweet tomatoes along with a torn-off log of baguette is a perfect enough supper just as it is. And you can make a fabulously retro steakhouse-style starter, by cutting a head of iceberg lettuce into wedges and dribbling each crunchy wedge with this plus, perhaps, a scattering of crisp-fried bacon crumbles. And it makes a fabulous dressing to dribble over leftover rare roast beef.
  • Put the crumbled cheese into a bowl, add the Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, buttermilk, milk and the vinegar and mix gently until well combined. Thin if necessary with a little iced water. Chill until needed.
  • Make Ahead Note: The dressing will keep for 3 to 4 days in covered container in fridge - store in cold part of fridge rather than in the door.

BLUE CHEESE DRESSING



Blue Cheese Dressing image

This rich dressing spikes through the creamy goodness and answers that "why doesn't my dressing ever taste this good?" question. This recipe works as well with Mini Buffalo Chicken Balls as it does ladled over a thick wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with a few olives, carrot shavings, and crumbled bacon to create a more-than-satisfying classic salad. This dressing will keep up to five days in the fridge.
