A Note on Servings
This homemade blue cheese salad dressing recipe should yield about 12 ounces of dressing. That’s a decent batch! The number of servings will depend on how much dressing you typically use per serving. As a general guideline, 1 to 2 tablespoons of dressing is usually enough for one serving of salad … but let’s be honest, that’s probably not going to do it. This recipe is that good. Adjust according to your preference and the size of your salads.
How to Make Light and Creamy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
Step 1. Emulsify the ingredients.
Simply toss all of the ingredients into a small food processer.
Step 2. Taste and adjust.
Once everything is blended to perfection, give your blue cheese dressing a taste test and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, as desired.
Quick Tip
For a thinner dressing, add milk a tablespoon at a time until the dressing has reached the desired consistency.
Step 3. Let the flavors mingle, then serve.
Now, here comes the hardest part: waiting. Pop this blue cheese dressing into a mason jar or bottle, resist the urge to dive in with a spoon (trust us, it’s tempting), and let it chill in the fridge for a bit to let the flavors mingle and develop.
Voila! You’ve just created a homemade blue cheese salad dressing that’s light, creamy and full of flavor.
