*Note~ There are many ways to make blue cheese dressing; basic ingredients always include mayonnaise, blue cheese, and one acidic ingredient like vinegar, lemon juice, or Worcestershire sauce, that is blended together with, a cream product like; heavy cream, sour cream, crème fraiche, or buttermilk. After countless times of making and serving this dressing, I prefer to use sour cream or crème fraiche when I need a thick textured dressing and, prefer to use buttermilk when needing a lighter and looser textured dressing. It’s all personal preference, and or what’s on hand in your refrigerator!
