Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat)
  • 2/3 cup blue cheese crumbles (plus a little extra for topping, optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice (or white wine vinegar), to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced (or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2–4 tablespoons heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk, as needed for thinning
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley

Method
 

  1. Mash the cheese: In a medium bowl, add half of the blue cheese. Use a fork to mash it into a paste. This helps infuse the dressing with bold blue cheese flavor.
  2. Add the creamy base: Stir in the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
  3. Season and brighten: Add Dijon, garlic, lemon juice (start with 1 tablespoon), salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Adjust the texture: Stir in heavy cream or almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it’s your preferred consistency. Keep it thick for dipping or thinner for salads.
  5. Fold in chunks: Add the remaining blue cheese crumbles for texture. Fold gently so you keep some chunks intact.
  6. Taste and tweak: Add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed. Stir in chopped chives or parsley if using.
  7. Rest and serve: For best flavor, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors deepen as it rests.
