Blue.
Bleu.
Blooooooooo!
However you spell it, I love blue cheese. I love it as much as it is possible to love a food.
I dislike blue cheese dressing. It just doesn't do it for me. So what's a girl to do when confronted with a pile of delicious, lip-smackin' hot wings?
Why, make her own, of course. It's easier than you might think. I came across this recipe on Pinterest and gave it a go. I modified it slightly from the original recipe to fit what I had on hand, (more blue cheese!) and it was still fabulous. It's been a hit all around.
How I did it:
Mix together milk, sour cream, mayonaise, vinegar, sugar, and garlic powder. Crumble in blue cheese. Use more or less cheese depending on your taste. I like it chunky. If you like a smoother dressing, just mash the blue cheese with the milk before adding the other ingredients. Salt and pepper until you're satisfied. I use very little.
How much:
This recipe makes just under a cup, and I leave it at that. We like our blue cheese around here, but the two of us don't use more than 1 cup per meal.
Good to know:
This recipe does not store well. The vinegar mixed with the milk leads to an increasingly sour taste the longer it sits. I only make what I can use in one sitting, because it's pretty darn sour even if I eat it the very next day. If you'd like to store it, you may have to omit the vinegar entirely and switch the milk to buttermilk, which may still leave you with a very sweet dressing. Your call.
Now fetch me some hot wings and I'm a happy, happy girl!
