Many store bought salad dressings have added sugar within them (READ LABELS!). The quality on the ingredients can also be questionable. Whenever I can, I like to make my own sauces and dressings. It doesn’t take as long as you might think … and the flavors can just POP!
Within this simple salad dressing, the large boulders of blue cheese have a tactile smoosh in a way that only a good, ripe, moldy cheese can. Its sticky, icky, blue-gray crumbles lumping up the pungent dressing, makes for a perfect complement to a light salad … perhaps with a bit of fruit for a naughty splurge!
Try taking this dressing and tossing it with some baby romaine leaves, some walnuts and a few cubes of apple or pear. Top it off with some more cheesy crumbles and it’s a funky sweet paradise! Or, just set a cup aside and dip your carrot sticks into it.
Has anyone mentioned Buffalo Wings, yet? MMMmmmmm ….
Note: Will make about twelve 2-tablespoon servings.

This is the best blue cheese dressing I’ve ever had! I add a dash of Worcestershire sauce at the end because that’s how my aunt used to make it. =-)
