Blue Cheese Thousand Island Salad Dressing

This is salad dressing elevated. More flavors than I can even describe in each and every bite. This blue cheese thousand island salad dressing quickly became the star of our dinner side salads this week. Hints of traditional flavors but with wonderful bell peppers and blue cheese (and a few other things). This is a crazy-good dressing that I’d make again and again.

Squeeeeeeeze

There is a little trick to making this blue cheese thousand island salad dressing. If you’re not careful, it’ll end up a bit runny and thin. Now, the flavor will still be there so don’t panic if yours is a bit on the thin side. You can prevent it by making sure that the ingredients are as dry as possible before you add them. The ones that aren’t liquid to begin with, that is. It’s kind of hard to pat sour cream dry… Anyways, just make sure the onion for sure is squeezed well to get the moisture out. The peppers and relish, well, just give them a quick dab with a paper towel.

Oh and don’t use anything ‘light’ in this. Light usually means thin and we don’t want thin here.

Creamy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

This creamy blue cheese salad dressing is easily my favorite blue cheese dressing. It’s so nice and creamy. And although it’s definitely ‘blue cheesy’ it’s not so overwhelming. Ya know, I love that blue cheese funk but I kinda have a limit to it. This dressing doesn’t cross that line, it sneaks up on it and gives it a big ole hug!

My Favorite Wing Dipping Sauce

This creamy blue cheese salad dressing is, of course, great on a garden salad. And I assure you, it’s fantastic as a wing dip. It’s my go-to for wings. And chicken fingers. Oh and nuggets. That’s why I make a big ole batch of it and keep it in the fridge. And it’s great for dipping vegetables, too. Like I said, this is my favorite.

Want a great sub sandwich? Use this dressing in place of mayonnaise or a vinegar dressing.
