Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk or milk, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.

  3. Gently fold in the crumbled bleu cheese, leaving some small pieces intact for texture.

  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

  5. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to thin the dressing to your preferred consistency and whisk again.

  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors have time to meld.

  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir or shake well before using.

Simple tip.

For extra tang, add a little more crumbled bleu cheese and an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.

Make it your own.

Use Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise for a lighter base, add extra black pepper for more bite, or keep the dressing thicker if you want to use it as a dip.

Perfect for

Keep it thick and creamy for wedges and wraps, or thin it slightly for tossed salads and bowls.
