Directions

  1. Place mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a bowl. Add garlic, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, sugar, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together thoroughly.

  2. Mix grated blue cheese into the cream base a little at a time to ensure it is evenly incorporated and doesn't clump.

  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to consolidate the flavors.

Recipe Yield

3 -1/4 cups

Recipe Note

A cheese grater and a wedge of frozen blue cheese is the secret behind a perfect creamy blue cheese dressing. Those larger chunks sink to the bottom and don't become one with sauce as they do with grated cheese.
