Creamy Blue Cheese Dip With Walnuts image

Blue cheese can be a polarizing ingredient, but the sweetness of toasted walnuts rounds out the sharpness of the cheese in this creamy dip. If serving this dip to friends, surround it with large pieces of cabbage, sliced celery sticks and a sleeve of saltine crackers - and make extra, because it can disappear quickly. But it's built for more than entertaining guests: Slather it on a potato bun in a chicken cutlet sandwich, or use it to dress up a BLT.

I wish I could give this dip more stars. It has great flavor, but it's just too runny.

This dip is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I would probably not make it again.

This dip was a disaster! It was too runny and didn't have much flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This dip is a little too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less mayonnaise or cream cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, but they really add something to this dip. They give it a nice crunch and flavor.

This dip is a great way to use up leftover blue cheese. It's also a great make-ahead appetizer.
