A touch of honey balances the sharpness while fresh herbs and seasonings create layers of flavor that store-bought versions simply can’t match. Whether you’re drizzling it over crisp romaine hearts or using it as a dip for fresh vegetables, this versatile dressing elevates every bite.

Tips

  1. Add minced garlic and fresh chives for an herb-forward version perfect for steakhouse salads.

  2. Thin with buttermilk or heavy cream to create a lighter consistency for drizzling over wedge salads.

  3. Mix in crumbled bacon bits and diced green onions for a loaded blue cheese experience.

  4. Substitute Greek yogurt for half the sour cream to reduce calories while maintaining creaminess.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir gently before each use as separation may occur.

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese and chopped fresh parsley, leaving some cheese chunks intact for texture.
