Instructions

• Crumble the 4 oz blue cheese and set aside a small portion of the crumbles if you want a chunky dressing; otherwise use all 4 oz when you blend.
• In a medium bowl combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk, 1/2 cup sour cream, the crumbled blue cheese you will blend (either all 4 oz or the larger portion), 3 pressed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp ground pepper.
• Use an immersion blender (or a regular blender or food processor) to blend the mixture until smooth.
• If you reserved blue cheese crumbles, break them into very small pieces with a fork and stir them into the blended dressing for a chunky texture.
• Season the dressing with 1/4–1/2 tsp salt to taste.
• Chill the dressing for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
• Serve on salad or use as a dip for chips, wings, or vegetables.
