Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Small whisk
  • Fork
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Glass jar

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz BLUE CHEESE
  • 1/2 cup SOUR CREAM
  • 1/4 cup MAYONNAISE
  • 1/4 cup BUTTERMILK
  • 1 tbsp WHITE WINE VINEGAR
  • 1/2 tsp WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
  • 1/4 tsp SALT
  • 1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER

Instructions
 

Prep the Cheese

  • Start by unwrapping your cold wedge of blue cheese. Use your clean hands to crumble it into chunks. Keep some chunks large for a traditional restaurant look. Place the cheese into your medium mixing bowl.

Mix the Cream

  • Add the sour cream and the mayonnaise to the cheese. Use your small whisk to combine them together well. The mixture will look very thick and white now. Do not over-mix if you like big chunks.

Add the Liquid

  • Pour in the buttermilk and the white wine vinegar. These liquids help the dressing pour over your salad. Stir gently until the dressing reaches a coating consistency. You can add more buttermilk for a thinner sauce.

Season the Mix

  • Add the salt and the cracked black pepper now. Pour in the small dash of savory Worcestershire sauce. This adds a hidden layer of flavor to the dressing. Stir one last time to distribute the spices.

Mash for Flavor

  • Take a fork and press down on some cheese. Mashing a few chunks releases the blue cheese oil. This makes the entire dressing taste like the cheese. Leave the rest of the chunks whole for texture.

Taste and Adjust

  • Dip a piece of celery into the finished dressing. Taste it to check the salt and tang levels. Add a drop more vinegar if it is flat. Add more cheese if you want a bolder bite.

Chill Before Serving

  • Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Let it sit for at least thirty full minutes. Chilling allows the cheese flavor to soak into the cream. Serve it cold with your favorite fresh snacks.

Notes

➜ Use a high-quality blue cheese like Roquefort or Stilton.
➜ Crumble the cheese yourself for the freshest flavor.
➜ Add buttermilk slowly to reach your favorite thickness level.
➜ Let the dressing sit to develop a deeper taste.
➜ Use full-fat sour cream for the best rich texture.
➜ Mash some cheese to make the sauce very flavorful.
➜ Always keep the dressing very cold before you serve.
➜ Add fresh chives for a pop of green color.
➜ Whisk the base well before adding the cheese chunks.
