Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Place the crumbled blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper into a medium bowl.
- Use a fork or a hand mixer to combine the ingredients until the mixture is mostly smooth but still has small chunks of blue cheese visible for texture.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, stir in the milk or buttermilk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired dipping texture.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Cover the bowl and chill the blue cheese dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve cold with chicken wings, celery sticks, carrots, or your favorite chips.
Notes
- For a dip closer to a popular restaurant clone, use a high-quality, pungent blue cheese like Gorgonzola or Roquefort.
- If you want a richer dip, substitute half of the sour cream with cream cheese, softened first.
- This dip works well as a salad dressing; add more milk or buttermilk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
