In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise and sour cream. Whisk together until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for your dressing.

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, leaving some larger chunks for texture. Don't overmix - you want to maintain those delicious cheese pieces throughout the dressing.
