Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chives, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, and lemon juice in your mixing bowl. Note: Ensure all dairy is cold from the fridge.
  2. Whisk the base vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the blue cheese crumbles and minced garlic. Note: Avoid over mixing here to keep the cheese chunks intact.
  4. Stir in the fresh chives with a few light turns of the spatula.
  5. Taste a small amount of the dressing first. Note: Blue cheese saltiness varies wildly by brand.
  6. Add salt and black pepper gradually until the flavors are balanced and sharp.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a glass jar or cover the bowl tightly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the dressing is chilled and thickened.
