Blue Cheese Dressing

This classic blue cheese dressing is a versatile vegetarian staple that brings a bold, tangy depth to your kitchen table. By combining rich soured cream and silky mayonnaise with the sharp, salty punch of real blue cheese crumbles, you create a condiment that far surpasses any shop-bought alternative. It is remarkably thick and indulgent, offering a sophisticated balance of flavours that works beautifully as either a dip or a pourable sauce.

Ideal for a weekend gathering or a quick midweek meal, this homemade dressing is the perfect accompaniment to crunchy celery sticks, spicy cauliflower wings, or a traditional iceberg wedge salad. Because you are making it from scratch, you can easily control the consistency by adding a splash more milk, or leave it chunky for a more rustic texture. It stays fresh in the fridge for several days, making it a brilliant make-ahead option for busy cooks.
