A classic American salad dressing made of buttermilk
to enhance the creaminess of the cheese and mainly the flavour somewhat.
Use the best blue cheese you can find for this dressing
such as Roquefort, Bleu d'Auvergne, Gorgonzola, Cambozola or Danish blue cheese.
To make this great blue cheese dressing you will need
chopped onion, chopped garlic, Worcestershire sauce also known as Lea Perrins sauce,
milk, buttermilk, sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese,
today I am using Roquefort cheese, pepper, salt and lemon juice- but this is optional.
Place the cheese in a large bowl, all the cheese.
Break it up to crumble it using a whisk. Add the mayonnaise.
So it is always better to make your own mayonnaise.
However if you want to keep that dressing for few days,
you may use commercial mayonnaise.
Ok, because mayonnaise is made of raw egg yolk, the sauce won’t last too long.
Add the sour cream. And mix.
I like the colour, it’s becoming kind of blue.
Then add the buttermilk, the milk.
And the chopped ingredients- the chopped onions, the garlic.
And then add the seasoning. So the sauce, little bit of salt.
Blue cheese in general is pretty salted. And specially Roquefort. So be light on the salt.
Slight pepper. Whisk well to incorporate all the ingredients together.
Then taste. One of the best dressings.
And you could make it really tasty.
And what is funny is that even though we put just a little bit of onion and garlic,
you really add flavour to the sauce.
It is really a good combination, a good addition to the sauce.
The Roquefort is not too strong, pretty mild, it is a well balanced sauce.
Now you will decide if you want to put a drop or not of lemon juice.
Maybe a small, half teaspoon. Just to get a little bit of acidity behind.
It’s really upto you. I would leave it as it is because I think it’s great.
Keep your blue cheese dressing refrigerated at all times.
Because it is made of mayonnaise and dairy products,
you must keep it refrigerated.
You may keep it for 1 day to 2 days max in the fridge.
After that, you cannot consume it because it won’t be safe.
