Buttermilk Blue Cheese and Chive Salad Dressing

I’ve made a few salad dressings with tons of ingredients in them in my time. You know, the ones that take a little bit of time to put together. This buttermilk blue cheese and chive salad dressing isn’t one of those. A handful of ingredients makes for a great dressing. There’s nothing huge going on here. Just creamy buttermilk richness with a little blue cheese and a hint of oniony goodness.

Dip Away!

This buttermilk blue cheese and chive salad dressing is a bit thinner than many. It pours out quite easily. You can add more blue cheese (or less buttermilk, depending on how you want to look at it) to make it thicker. I like it thinner because I like to dip my radishes and cherry tomatoes into it.

This dressing is also fantastic for dipping wings.

If you don’t have or can’t find chives, green onions work just as well!

Rich and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

This rich and creamy blue cheese dressing is dangerous. It’s a bit too good. Too creamy. Too blue cheesy. Too rich. I had to really exercise self-control when I made a salad and this dressing. I could’ve easily ended up embarrassing myself. Self-control was difficult. I love this dressing. I can’t wait to make it again.

Give It A Rest

This rich and creamy blue cheese dressing gets better with time. It’s hard not to eat it as soon as you make it, but you gotta let it rest. Make it, cover it, and put it in the fridge and try not to think about it. Don’t go peeking at it. Don’t go ‘test tasting’ it. Just let it be. I found that going on a long walk helps. Something to get my mind off of the goodness that awaits.

This dressing is fantastic for dipping wings, too!

Next time I’m doubling the recipe. To keep myself from using it all at once, I serve it in these little cups.

I love this dressing on a homemade Subway oven-roasted turkey and ham sub in a tub!
