Sometimes, you just need a really decadent creamy dressing with a little bit of funk. If you aren’t a fan of blue cheese – this is not the dressing for you. It is loaded with chunks and crumbles of blue cheese! Creamy and dreamy are the best ways to describe this Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing.
I love to use this dressing as a dip for buffalo chicken wings. It is amazing with some carrots and celery. And of course it is lovely on a nice steak wedge salad. It pairs especially well with bacon too!
Substitutes and Variations:
While it will slightly change the flavor, you can swap out the sour cream OR the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt. I want to emphasize OR – if you swap both, you will lose an element of richness as well as increase the sour note. I know this is blue cheese dressing – but you could swap out the blue cheese for feta cheese to make a fantastic creamy feta dressing for your gyro!
Suggestions for Sides:
While this would be so lovely on a nice green salad with some crispy chicken- it is exceptional with my Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It pairs so nicely with the tangy heat.
Tools that may make this recipe easier:
You are going to want to have some wide mouth pint jars for this recipe – it makes mixing and storing, as well as serving the dressing simple.
