Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
8 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese or blue cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well and refrigerate.

Notes

This dressing won’t be like bottled blue cheese dressing, which uses modified food starch to thicken and stabilize it. I suggest using “thicker” products. For example, some sour creams may not be as thick as others (we use Daisy), and full-fat buttermilk will be thicker than lower-fat buttermilk.

Yield: 3 cups

MAKE AHEAD: I recommend making it a day ahead of time so the flavors have a chance to blend. This dressing lasts for about one week in the refrigerator.
