Tips for Success

Here are some tips to help you make the best homemade blue cheese dressing:

• Use good quality blue cheese for the best flavor. You can choose a milder or stronger blue cheese depending on your preference.
• If you prefer a chunkier dressing, you can leave some larger pieces of blue cheese in the dressing instead of fully incorporating it.
• This dressing is on the thicker side, but the consistency can be easily adjusted. Feel free to adjust the dressing by adding some milk if you prefer a thinner more flowing dressing. Just be careful and add a tablespoon at a time until you reach the texture you prefer.
• Store the dressing in the refrigerator and consume it within a week.
• If you are not a fan of dill, you can eliminate it from this recipe, and it will still be a wonderful, tasty dressing. You can add two cloves of fresh minced garlic for extra flavor instead.
