Blue Cheese Dressing

Blue Cheese Dressing

Everyday

Blue cheese dressing is a creamy American condiment made by blending crumbled blue cheese with mayonnaise and buttermilk or sour cream, creating a rich texture studded with distinctive mold-veined cheese pieces. Its bold, tangy flavor profile and high saturated fat content make it a indulgent topping for salads and Buffalo-style dishes, though its sodium levels often exceed lighter vinaigrettes. While commercially prepared versions dominate markets, homemade recipes allow adjustments to accommodate dietary restrictions.
