Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
Nothing beats the flavor of homemade salad dressing. Many readers have commented that they will never buy bottled dressing again and prefer this creamy Blue Cheese Dressing to full-fat versions. That’s quite the endorsement! Making your own salad dressing also gives you control over what goes in it, allowing you to customize the taste and ensure you use quality ingredients. This healthy blue cheese dressing is delicious on wedge salads, buffalo wings, or even roast beef sandwiches.

Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients
I prefer preparing homemade blue cheese salad dressing over buying it because I know exactly what’s in it and can use clean ingredients. It’s also more economical than buying premade ones.
Blue Cheese: Using high-quality blue cheese is essential for the best blue cheese dressing. Fat-free Greek Yogurt makes this dressing light but still creamy. Light Mayonnaise balances the tanginess of the Greek yogurt. Acid: Lemon juice and white wine vinegar thin the yogurt and complement the richness of the blue cheese. Seasoning: Garlic powder, salt, and black pepper enhance the overall taste.
For the exact measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom.

Variations
Garlic: Replace the garlic powder with minced fresh garlic. Vinegar: Substitute apple cider, red wine, or distilled white vinegar. Sour Cream: Swap some of the Greek yogurt for reduced-fat sour cream. Cheese: Try it with feta for a Greek version. Keto Blue Cheese Dressing: Use full-fat Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. If you prefer a less tangy dressing, start with a half tablespoon of lemon juice and vinegar. If you like the taste, use water for the remaining half of the liquid to thin it.
What to Eat with Blue Cheese Dressing
Not only is it fantastic for salads, but it’s also the best blue cheese dressing for wings and anything buffalo flavor!
Salads: Chopped Wedge Salad, Chopped Salad with Shrimp, Cobb Salad Buffalo: Buffalo Wings, Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Sandwiches: One of my favorite ways to enjoy this dressing is as a spread on a roast beef sandwich on crusty whole-wheat bread with arugula.
