Blue Cheese Dressing ~ Creamy, tangy, and chunky, everything you want in your homemade blue cheese dressing, great as a dip or on top of your favorite salad.
My daughter loves blue cheese dressing. I give this child kudos. She has a fantastic palate–even with her love of Spaghetti-O’s. At her age, I was all about the thousand island or French, any of the more sweeter dressings. I can’t get her to eat mashed potatoes, but she will devour Indian food. It makes this momma happy.My menu for the week includes a chopped kale salad. When I was thinking about the best brand of blue cheese dressing to buy at the store, I really couldn’t come up with one I really liked well enough that I wanted to use it in my salad. Then I realized my own thought process and felt like an idiot. I’m a food blogger, a recipe developer, AND I’ve even made my own dressing before. This was a lesson in not writing menus at 1 am!I had to go through an old hard drive and a few notebooks before I found my blue cheese dressing. I might have mentioned I struggle following recipes, that I like to get creative. It turns out that is true for even my own recipes. I decided to omit the milk of my original recipe in favor of buttermilk for a bit extra zip and tang. I also increased the amount of blue cheese to almost 3/4 of a cup. I just couldn’t help myself.
