Every time I make this quick blue cheese dip, someone asks for the recipe. It only requires a few items, so its a snap to put together. I often prepare the thick spread with Gorgonzola cheese and serve it with toasted pecans. -Sandy Schneider Naperville, Illinois

Steps:

Place the shallot, garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, mayonnaise, Gorgonzola, Tabasco, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the processor about 12 times, until the mixture is almost smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the chives and pulse two or three times, until combined. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Serve with vegetables and/or crackers for dipping.

Ingredients

1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
7 ounces Greek-style yogurt, such as Fage Total
1/2 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
4 ounces sharp (mountain) Gorgonzola, crumbled
5 dashes Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Crudites and/or crackers, for serving
