Simply the Best Blue Cheese Dressing

Submitted by BeachGirl

"My family's favorite blue cheese dressing--absolutely fabulous! It is even delicious made with fat-free sour cream, low-fat mayonnaise, and fat-free buttermilk. Great as a dip for vegetables or celery sticks served with buffalo chicken wings. This recipe came from a dear friend who graciously shared it many, many years ago."

Great Recipe & Easy to make! I've added this one to the family favorites already! I found the flavor improved if chilled in the fridge for several hours before eating. Also, if you like a beefed-up bluecheese flavor, then food process 1/2 the blue cheese down to a paste and blend it into the other ingredients.

Another wonderful recipe to add to my recipe collection. The flavors of the sour cream, mayonnaise and buttermilk are a very good base. I used onion flakes instead of onion salt for a bit of crunch, and less sodium. I did add more buttermilk, since I will be using this as a dressing and not as a dip. Definately a repeat recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Great made with all low fat ingredients. I used it for a side with Hot wings!

The sour cream, mayo and buttermilk are a good combination when ever I make a creamy dressing, so this recipe caught my eye. Also got to use my new stick blender. Delicious

This is a very good recipe ! For my own personal preference, I reduced the blue cheese by half (only used 4 ounces) because 8 ounces just made it a little too pungent. (I prefer a creamier, less bitter taste) I think next time I might cut the garlic in half too unless I use smaller cloves. Overall, though, it's a fabluous recipe...thank you so much for submitting it !
