A cheese grater and a wedge of frozen blue cheese is the secret behind a perfect creamy blue cheese dressing. Those larger chunks sink to the bottom and don't become one with sauce as they do with grated cheese. Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise |
1 cup sour cream |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon crushed garlic |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
1/2 teaspoon white sugar |
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
4 ounces frozen blue cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Place mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a bowl. Add garlic, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, sugar, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together thoroughly.
2. Mix grated blue cheese into the cream base a little at a time to ensure it is evenly incorporated and doesn't clump.
3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to consolidate the flavors.
