How to Make Blue Cheese Dip from Scratch

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

To make the best blue cheese dip and dressing at home you only need a few good quality ingredients:

mayonnaise
Sour Cream, preferably cultured for a probiotic punch!
Blue Cheese, crumbled
distilled white vinegar (fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar work great too)
Sea Salt or kosher salt
White Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Milk, water or heavy cream to thin to your desired consistency

A lot of recipes may call for worcestershire sauce which would impart more of an anchovy flavor into this simple danish blue cheese recipe, but my personal preference is that it is NOT needed.

Step 2: Mixing It All Together

Next you’ll need to grab a medium bowl and mix all the ingredients together!

Step 3: Adjusting Consistency and Flavor

When you make your blue cheese dip you MIGHT actually want a blue cheese dressing and by simply adding a splash of milk, cream or water to thin your dip into a more pourable consistency, you can use this one recipe for multiple dishes! And if you don’t want so many bleu cheese chunks, feel free to use your immersion blender or food processor to adjust the consistency of your salad dressing mixture, as desired to be more of a smooth dip or thicker consistency.

If healthy recipes are your thing, you can pick any mayo resonates with your food rules. If you are avoiding seed oils, try using an avocado oil based mayonnaise for a healthier alternative in this homemade blue cheese dressing.

Heck you can even swap Gorgonzola, stilton or roquefort instead of blue cheese crumbles if that’s your thing! Feel free to experiment with different type of blue cheese in this great recipe. And you are always welcome to customize my recipe to suit you personal taste preferences. Try adding herbs such as chives, black pepper, or fresh garlic clove in your creamy blue cheese dip!

And lastly you can make this easy blue cheese dip recipe even healthier when you learn how to make How to Make Crème Fraîche {2 Ingredients} and use it in place of full-fat sour cream. Greek yogurt or blended. or whipped cream cheese will add an extra pinch of protein too!

Step 4: Chilling and Serving

I strongly suggest giving your blue cheese dip and dressing about 30 minutes (estimate) in the refrigerator to allow the blue cheese flavor to blend together.

Leftovers (if there are any) will keep in your fridge for up to a week, in a sealed container such as a mason jar or other airtight container.

What to Serve with Blue Cheese Dip

The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can serve with blue cheese dip.

In addition to the obvious and classic foods to serve with blue cheese dip such as buffalo chicken wings, carrot sticks and celery sticks, why not also try bell pepper, cauliflower and heck, it’s even delicious as a dip for tortilla chips and potato chips! (and you can even use this dip to make a delicious buffalo chicken dip!)

And when it comes to a blue cheese salad dressing, you can’t go wrong with a wedge salad or a classic Cobb salad but don’t forget the sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles too! I also encourage you to pair creamy blue cheese dressed salad with a drizzle of balsamic reduction for a sweet and savory twist!
