One of the best blue cheese dressing recipes ever. Triple or quadruptle all ingredients except the blue cheese and then add cheese to taste. You will want to keep a supply on hand. Read More

This was awesome! I didn't have buttermilk, so I just mixed the vinegar into the milk first and let it sit for about 15 minutes to thicken. I won't be buying dressing in the jar anymore. Read More

I made "wedge" salads last night and made this dressing to go with. I did use reduced fat mayonnaise and reduced fat sour cream but other than that I made no other adjustments. Quite good--the kids even liked it which surprized me! Next time, I'd increase the garlic powder but that's purely personal preferance. I'll use this recipe again. Read More

I don't know about this being the BEST, but it is pretty darn good and very quick and easy to make. It is a bit thinner than other blue cheese dressings I've made, but that made it perfect for a wedge salad where I prefer a thinner dressing. Update: I've made this several times since my first review and it hasn't been thin since that first time. I'm not sure what I did differently that time, but I did want to clear that up. Also, this definitely needs to chill for several hours and overnight is even better. Read More

I was not disappointed in this recipe! It was very good. I scaled it to 12 servings (appx 2-3 cups). I had looked at "Bills" and "Bobs" and liked things from theirs also, so I combined them with this recipe by first using only 4oz blue cheese, adding 2t Worch.sauce, 1/2t dry mustard, and cut back the white wine vinegar to 1t. I also added 1 chopped green onion and it was fantastic! My husband was very impressed. I served it over a bagged meditarranean salad mix from the grocery store. Excellent! Read More

This is an incredible bleu cheese dressing that has put my proud recipe of years to shame. I had a bleu cheese dressing recipe that turn bleu cheese haters into disciples. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who likes bleu even in passing. I more than doubled the cheese quantity, but for me, too much of any good ingredient is just enough. Read More

Recipes for a creamy blue cheese dressing are all over the place, most calling for some variation of sour cream/buttermilk/mayonnaise. The number of choices is mind-boggling, so at some point one finally has to say STOP looking, this is the one. I stopped with this one and whether or not I could have found one better I neither know nor care. I was completely happy with this recipe which I prepared with no changes, using Gorgonzola, an Italian blue cheese. I tasted this right after making it and loved it already. I can’t imagine how much better it will be by suppertime, when the flavors have melded and it tops a green salad with bacon and tomato! (And since Hubs detests blue cheese, it’s all mine) Read More

Fabulous! I have another recipe that I love, but it is so thick it is more like a dip. This has the same wonderful flavor, but is thin enough to be able to mix with the salad. I stirred the vineagar into the milk to make "buttermilk." I think the next time I make it, I will process all the ingredients in the food processor, and then add another 2 ounces of blue cheese crumbles. (I guess you can tell I really like blue cheese!!)
