    How to Make Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

    1. Make Dressing

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, red wine vinegar, soy sauce and buttermilk until you achieve a smooth and uniform base. Crumble the blue cheese into the bowl and mix together. Adjust the seasoning with salt, red wine vinegar and black pepper as needed.

    Variations

    Sour Cream Swap

    Substitute part of the mayonnaise or buttermilk with sour cream for a tangier, thicker dressing. This is a great way to play with the texture and tartness of your blue cheese dressing.

    Herb Infusion

    Incorporate fresh herbs such as tarragon for a French twist, dill for a Scandinavian vibe, or chives for a mild onion-like flavor. Finely chop the herbs and mix them into the dressing. The freshness of the herbs will complement the tangy blue cheese and add a new dimension to the dressing.

    Cheese Variations

    While blue cheese is the star, you can experiment with different blue cheese varieties like Gorgonzola for a sweeter note, Roquefort for a stronger sheep's milk flavor, or Stilton for a milder, earthy essence.

    Umami Boost

    Introduce an umami-rich ingredient such as anchovy paste, soy sauce, or Worcestershire sauce. Just a little bit can deepen the savoriness of the dressing without overpowering the blue cheese.

    Citrus Zest

    Add the zest of a lemon, lime, or orange to the dressing to impart a bright, citrusy note. This will cut through the richness of the blue cheese and mayonnaise, providing a lighter taste that's especially good for summer salads.
