Best Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing (Classic Steakhouse Style)

Ingredients
  • 4 ounces
    Blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/2 cup
    mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup
    Sour cream
  • 1/4 cup
    Buttermilk
  • 1 clove
    Fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon
    White wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon
    Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon
    Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon
    Salt
Directions
  • Prepare the base

    Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

  • Add seasonings

    Mince the garlic finely and add to the base along with vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. The garlic should be very finely minced to distribute evenly.

  • Incorporate blue cheese

    Add 3/4 of the blue cheese crumbles and mash gently with a fork to partially break them down, leaving some larger pieces for texture.

  • Final mixing

    Stir all ingredients until well combined. Reserve the remaining blue cheese crumbles for topping.

  • Adjust seasoning

    Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Remember that blue cheese is naturally salty, so add additional salt gradually.

  • Rest and chill

    Allow the dressing to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld together. Top with reserved blue cheese crumbles before serving.
