Tips for the Best Results

• Use a type of blue cheese you enjoy eating on its own. Gorgonzola or Roquefort are both great picks if you like a stronger blue cheese flavor.
• Crumble your own wedge of blue cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-crumbled cheese can sometimes be dry or coated in anti-caking agents.
• You can serve this right away, but it has the best flavor after it has been chilled for a couple of hours.
• You can double the recipe and store extra dressing in the refrigerator in a mason jar or covered jar for up to one week.
• If the mixture is thick, you can make it a more pourable dressing by adding a little water or milk.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Try it over a classic wedge salad with cherry tomatoes, bacon bits, and crispy bacon.
• Serve as a dipping sauce for buffalo chicken wings, buffalo chicken meatballs, or chicken tenders.

Substitutions and Variations

• Use red wine vinegar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or white wine vinegar, depending on what’s in your pantry, if you don’t have lemon juice. Each brings a slightly different tangy flavor.
• Stir in chopped fresh parsley for color and freshness.
• If you don’t have garlic salt, you can substitute garlic powder.

Blue cheese dressing is great for so many salads. I especially love it in a classic wedge salad or with romaine lettuce. It also goes great with these Easy Hot Chicken Wings.
