My family's favorite blue cheese dressing--absolutely fabulous! It is even delicious made with fat-free sour cream, low-fat mayonnaise, and fat-free buttermilk. Great as a dip for vegetables or celery sticks served with buffalo chicken wings. This recipe came from a dear friend who graciously shared it many, many years ago.

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.

Tips

  • Use high-quality blue cheese: The type of blue cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your dressing. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong but not overpowering tang.
  • Let the blue cheese come to room temperature before using it: This will help the cheese to blend more smoothly into the dressing.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk: Buttermilk will give your dressing a tangy flavor and help to keep it from becoming too thick.
  • Add some fresh herbs to your dressing: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, can add a bright and flavorful touch to your dressing.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: There are many different ways to make blue cheese dressing. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and proportions to find a dressing that you love.

Conclusion

Blue cheese dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and burgers. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables or crackers. No matter how you use it, blue cheese dressing is sure to add a lot of flavor to your meal.
