A cheese grater and a wedge of frozen blue cheese feature in this top-secret method for creamy blue cheese dressing. The grated cheese blends in perfectly as opposed to larger chunks which just sink to the bottom.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 0.75 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt , or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper , or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 ounces frozen blue cheese , grated

Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to consolidate the flavors.
