Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing

There are plenty of high-quality store-bought sauces and dressings out there, but nothing compares to a homemade version. This could not be truer than for blue cheese dressing. My homemade blue cheese salad dressing recipe is SO easy to make, versatile, and bursting with savory blue cheese flavor.

I love this easy dressing recipe because it’s thick, rich, and creamy, but not overpowering. It adds just the right amount of zing to everything, from grilled chicken salad to pinwheel sandwiches, to buffalo wings. I have a jar of this dressing in my fridge all the time!

I will never buy store-bought dressing ever again. This dressing is amazing and so easy to make! Truly the best blue cheese dressing I have tried.

Bleu Cheese Dressing Ingredients

• Sour Cream
• Mayonnaise
• Lemon Juice
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Salt and Black Pepper
• Blue Cheese Crumbles
• Fresh Chives

How to Make Blue Cheese Dressing

1. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir all of these ingredients until smooth using a small whisk or a fork.
2. Add blue cheese crumbles to the dressing and stir to combine. Mince fresh chives and fold them into the dressing.

Once all the ingredients are combined, the cheese sauce is finished! Feel free to use it right away, or store it in the fridge for a few hours before use (this will help the flavors develop a little bit).

Recipe for Blue Cheese Dressing Tips

• Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream if you want a bit more of a tangy flavor.
• Play around with different cheese flavors and see which one is your favorite. Some I have tried are Gorgonzola, Stilton and Roquefort.

How to Store Blue Cheese Recipe

Homemade blue cheese dressing can be safely stored in the refrigerator for approximately 5-6 days.

1. Store in an airtight container: Use an airtight container to prevent air from entering, which can lead to spoilage.
2. Keep it cold: Store the dressing in the refrigerator at a temperature of 40°F (4°C) or lower.
3. Check for signs of spoilage: Before using the dressing, inspect it for any unusual changes in smell, color, or texture.
4. Label and date: It’s a good practice to label the container with the date you prepared the dressing. This helps you keep track of its freshness.

What is Blue Cheese Dressing?

This easy blue cheese dressing consists of a creamy element such as sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, or heavy cream, along with something tart, such as vinegar or lemon juice, as well as a savory flavor like onion or garlic powder, or Worcestershire sauce.

The most important component of homemade cheese dressing is, of course, blue cheese. The cheese is aged in a temperature-controlled environment to produce its specific taste and color. You can purchase it in a wedge or already crumbled, and the flavor is very sharp.

What to Serve with Blue Cheese Dressing

• Buffalo Wings
• Crock Pot Chicken Wings – see my guide on How to Cut Chicken Wings and my chicken wings seasoning!
• Air Fryer Cauliflower Wings

It makes a nice dipping sauce on a platter of fresh vegetables, and I’m guessing some freshly fried potato chips dipped in it would be pretty tasty. It is the perfect dip for Chicken Wings!
