I love thick homemade blue cheese dressing! I think homemade dressings are much better than the store-bought kind. Of course, it is easier to just buy a bottle, but making homemade blue cheese dressing is so easy and worth it! This dressing is great on salads like a classic wedge or cobb. Since this homemade blue cheese is thick, it is also perfect as a dip for wings or vegetables. We make this frequently for our wings and salads. We know that you will love this homemade dressing as much as we do!

Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe Notes:
Ingredients Notes: *
I usually get a block of blue cheese (.25-.35 oz).
Then I chop / crumble it until it about fills up a cup. Sometimes I will have enough to fill up a whole cup and sometimes it will fall a little short, like at about ¾. Either way it works out! Of course, it you want more blue cheese – add more, or if you want less, reduce the amount.
For the salt, I usually use either Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.
For the mayo, I always use Hellman’s mayo.
Notes for Instructions: *
If you like your blue cheese chunky, pound it with the whisk just a few times. Pounding it a few times releases the blue cheese flavor into the dressing.
Pairings:
This pairs well with any salad, especially with a wedge or cobb. This is also perfect for a dip for wings or veggies.
Food Prep:
This can be served immediately or made ahead. This lasts for up to a few weeks in the refrigerator (but also dependent on when the sour cream expires.
