Blue Cheese Dressing

I’m always grateful to have this versatile blue cheese dressing on hand.  It’s a cinch to make, lasts in the fridge for a week and will make the man in your life crumble and swoon.  Especially if you serve it with steak.

I’ve heard this dressing is really good drizzled over an open-faced turkey, spinach and roasted sweet pepper sandwich too.  But, I can neither confirm nor deny that this is what I had for lunch today….

Blue Cheese Dressing

6 TBS extra virgin olive oil

6 TBS sour cream or plain yogurt (I use FAGE)

2-3 garlic cloves, minced

3 TBS sherry vinegar

dash of Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled and divided

1 TBS fresh chives, chopped

salt & pepper

Mix first five ingredients in a bowl until oil begins to emulsify.  Slowly add in 1/2 of the blue cheese and continue to whisk until the dressing is well combined.  Gently stir in remaining half of blue cheese and chives.  Season to taste with salt & pepper.

I love, love, love FAGE yogurt.  It is tart, but smooth and I eat some every day.  It has a ridiculous amount of protein and is low in calorie and has no fat.  I usually drizzle mine with a little agave nectar for a sweet treat.  FAGE is my choice for this blue cheese dressing, but if you cannot find FAGE or do not care for the tart taste, I would use sour cream.
