I can’t remember the last time I bought salad dressing! This blue cheese salad dressing is so easy and inexpensive to mix up at home. This is a delicious adaptation from a recipe in The Complete Tightwad Gazette (page 231)

This recipes was originally published in February 2012.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

• 1/2 cup mayo (homemade)
• 1/4 cup cream or buttermilk
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or kombucha (omit if using buttermilk)
• 3 tbsp Clabber Cheese* (substitute cottage cheese or sour cream)
• 1 tsp garlic powder, or use 1 to 2 cloves fresh minced garlic to taste
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1+ ounces blue cheese crumbles

Gently combine all ingredients. Place in fridge and allow flavors to meld for an hour to two. Enjoy on salad, as a dip, or with hot wings.

*What is Clabber Cheese? Learn how to make this in the Cultured Dairy and Basic Cheese eCourse from Traditional Cooking School, or for a basic description see this post.

Ranch Variation

It is so simple to make a tasty and healthy ranch dressing at home! Simply follow the recipe above, but omit the blue cheese crumbles and add 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
