Three-Ingredient Blue Cheese Dressing


This is about the simplest blue cheese dressing you can
make, but it relies on high-quality, really sharp and
flavorful blue cheese. Do not try this with the cheapest
Danish blue you can find—you will be disappointed. To
maximize texture and chunkiness in the dressing, I like to
form a base with the tangy buttermilk, creamy
mayonnaise, and half of the blue cheese, reserving the
other half to crumble and mix in.


NOTE: Use a sharp blue cheese like Gorgonzola,
Roquefort, Fourme d’Ambert, or Stilton.
