Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup fat-free buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Place blue cheese and buttermilk into a bowl and stir together with a fork. Use the fork to break up any large chunks of cheese by pressing it against the side of the bowl. If you prefer a smoother dressing, mix together in a blender.
  2. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, garlic powder and sugar. Stir until well combined.
  3. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Choose the blue cheese flavor profile that best fits your taste for this recipe. If you like the stronger, more pungent blues, try Stilton blue cheese. For a milder flavor, use Danish Blue or Gorgonzola.

When made with the freshest ingredients (check the code dates on your sour cream and buttermilk), homemade blue cheese dressing will last up to 7 days stored in the refrigerator.
