Homemade blue cheese dressing recipe

In my last post, I promised some great recipes.

This one is the best. I promise you, your taste buds are going to go straight to heaven once you try this recipe out!

This is the most sublime blue cheese dressing recipe you've ever tasted. I promise you this - and I don't ever make promises I can't keep.

It is easy, quick - and if you've tried out my home made mayonnaise recipe I posted this morning, you'll already have plenty of mayonnaise on hand to use as a base.

Okay, now a few points. This recipe is NOT cheap. Blue cheese is expensive. So is sour cream. So you might want to halve the recipe below - it will make more than enough, unless you're expecting a crowd!

Also, this is NOT a recipe for the diet- or cholesterol-conscious. I save it for company - or for those times we really just want to throw our diets in the dustbin and have something that is awesomely delicious.

This sauce is incredible with salads, or works equally well with wedges or hot chips (fries). It would also be great on hot potatoes.

Yummy. Now I think I know what we're having for dinner!

Enjoy! I know I will!




Blue cheese sauce recipe

    Ingredients:
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 100g (4 oz) rich blue cheese, crumbled into small pieces.

    Method:
  • Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and worcestershire sauce.

  • Add the dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic salt and pepper.

  • Mix in the blue cheese, and stir well, until thoroughly blended.

  • Refrigerate for 24 hours in an airtight container before serving.

Worcester sauce is expensive but theres a good recipe for it in the Edmonds cookbook.

That looks delicious. With a baked spud I think our household would devour the lot.
(Knutty Knitter - I must say I love my Edmonds cookbook. The Ginger Crunch is a favourite with us.)

There's no such thing (that I know of) as gluten-free worcestershire sauce. Can you suggest a substitution?

Hi Knutty Knitter - I just used the Whitlocks worcester sauce I've had in my cupboard for a while, but will check out the recipe in the Edmonds cookbook. I can believe it would be easy to make!

Thanks for the tip.

Hi Bruise Mouse - The dressing is awesome. Most of that batch is gone already - we had it on pasta with withered cherry tomatoes. It was divine. We just mixed it through, and had a big green salad on the side.

If you eat meat, it would probably work well with some bacon added.

Hi Aunty Del - The Whitlocks worcester sauce I used doesn't specifically say it is gluten-free, but I think it might be.

Here are the ingredients: apple juice, sugar syrup, colour 150c, food acids 260, 330, spices (doesn't list which ones), preservative 211, flavours (doesn't list which ones), vegetable gum 414.

Nothing that leaps out at me shouting "gluten".

Looking at that, I think I WILL be making my own in future! Colours and additives - augh!

I think I need to make my own, as Knutty Knitter suggested.

Blue cheese dressing + some cooked cherry tomatoes + pasta = YUMMMM!!!

I don't know if you managed to find a copy of Additive Alert but I have a spare here that I can post over if you are interested. It is really good because it is all about what is allowed in Australia and New Zealand. So many additives in our food have been banned in Europe for 30 years!
If you are interested, email your postal address and I will pop it in the mail.

Hi Michael - yummmmm!

Hi Bruise Mouse - If you could give me the details of the book, I'm sure I could hunt up a copy, so you don't need to post one from over there. Thanks so much for offering though.

I'll email you for the details, that would be useful. Thanks :-)

Ha! Ginger crunch - definitely although I use the recipe in great grandmas book. Probably much the same though :)
