Key Ingredients + Substitutions

• Blue cheese: For a perfectly balanced dressing we’ll blend half the blue cheese into the base for creaminess and stir in the remaining half as chunks for that signature bite. Any variety works — try gorgonzola for a milder flavour or Roquefort for a stronger, tangier taste.
• Mayonnaise: Gives the dressing a creamy, rich base. You can use store-bought or homemade mayo, or mix half mayonnaise and half plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option with less calories.
• Sour cream: Adds tang and creaminess to balance the richness of the mayonnaise. If you prefer, you can swap it with plain Greek yogurt for a slightly lighter consistency.
• Heavy cream: Helps to thin the dressing to the perfect consistency. You could also use buttermilk, milk (dairy or unsweetened dairy-free), or water.
• Worcestershire: Adds depth and umami flavour. For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos.
• Garlic: Freshly minced garlic gives the dressing a bold, savoury kick. You could also use ½ teaspoon garlic powder instead.
• Dried parsley: Adds a touch of color and light herbal flavor. You can use fresh parsley if you have it on hand, or try chives or dill for a different twist.

How to make Blue Cheese Dressing

This blue cheese dressing is a cinch to make! In a blender bottle or food processor, combine half the blue cheese with the remainder of the ingredients. Blitz until creamy and smooth. Then, add in the remaining blue cheese and stir to combine. That’s it! You have a delicious blue cheese dressing that’s perfect for salads, wings, or dipping.

Serving + Storage Tips

Serving: This blue cheese dressing is super versatile! Use it as a dressing over a classic wedge salad with cherry tomatoes, crispy bacon, and extra crumbled blue cheese. Or serve it as a dip for fresh veggies or air-fryer buffalo wings. Slather it on burgers for a tangy burger sauce, and dollop it over grilled steak for a creamy, tangy finish.

Storage: Store leftovers in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. The flavours will get even better as the dressing thickens and the blue cheese melds into the creamy base. Give it a quick stir before serving!
