FAVORITE WAYS TO SERVE THIS AMAZING BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
- BBQ Chicken Pizza - Drizzle 1 - 2 tablespoons of homemade salad dressing over a slice of pizza.
- Wedge Salad - This dressing was made for a classic wedge salad, but it's also great on a simple green salad.
- Potato Pancakes - I love to dip potato pancakes in creamy blue cheese dressing.
- Oven Baked Hot Wings - Use this dressing as a dipping sauce for traditional buffalo hot wings.
INGREDIENTS

- Mayonnaise - I prefer full fat mayonnaise and do not recommend Miracle Whip for this recipe.
- Buttermilk - See below how to make your own buttermilk.
- Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- Black Pepper
- Blue Cheese Crumbles - There are five types of blue cheese, French Roquefort, English Stilton, Italian Gorgonzola and Spanish Cabrales. I use Roquefort for this recipe.
- Fresh Parsley
INGREDIENT VARIATIONS
Sour Cream - Instead of 1 cup of mayonnaise, use ½ cup of mayonnaise and ½ cup of sour cream.
Worcestershire Sauce - Add 1 - 2 teaspoons for a bold flavor.
Minced garlic, garlic power or onion powder - If you add fresh garlic, I recommend grating the garlic. 1-2 teaspoons of the dry spices should be plenty.
Dijon Mustard - Adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard will add a little bit of tang to the dressing.
HOW DO YOU MAKE BUTTERMILK AT HOME
You can easily make buttermilk from scratch by adding 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Gently stir and let sit for 5 minutes. I've made my own buttermilk many times for this dressing or even for cake recipes.

You have a picture of a lemon and the juicer. Lemon juice is in the recipe ingredients. No directions on when you put it in. Help
Jill
Sorry for the confusion. I add the lemon juice in the first step. I've updated the post. I hope you enjoy the recipe.

So fast and tasty, will never buy bottled again! I will certainly make again, trying some of the variations.
Would love a recipe for Ranch dressing.
