Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbles 4-5 oz
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of cayenne optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine base: Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth.
  • Add liquids: Whisk in lemon juice, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Season: Add garlic, parsley, dill, onion powder, pepper, salt, and cayenne. Whisk to combine.
  • Add most cheese: Reserve ¼ cup blue cheese. Fold remaining ¾ cup into dressing, mashing some while leaving chunks.
  • Add reserved cheese: Fold in reserved crumbles gently, keeping whole for texture.
  • Adjust: Add buttermilk to thin or more cheese to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Chill: Refrigerate minimum 30 minutes before serving. Stir before using.

Notes

  • Quality cheese is essential—cheap ruins dressing
  • Don't overmix—want chunky texture
  • Chill minimum of 30 minutes—better overnight
  • Adjust with buttermilk—controls thickness
  • Store 1 week refrigerated
  • Not freezer-friendly
  • Separation normal—just stir
  • Thickens over time—thin as needed
