Ingredients
- Mayonnaise
- Sour cream
- Maytag blue cheese, crumbled
- Lemon juice
- White vinegar
- Garlic, minced
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup sour cream, whisking until smooth and well blended.
- Crumble approximately 1/3 cup of Maytag blue cheese into the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture, using a fork to break the cheese into small, even pieces.
- Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon white vinegar to the mixture, which will help brighten the flavor and provide a subtle tangy note.
- Mince 1 small garlic clove very finely and incorporate it into the dressing, stirring to distribute the garlic evenly.
- Season the dressing with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste. Start with a small amount and gradually add more if needed.
- Whisk all ingredients together until completely combined and the blue cheese is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Before serving, give the dressing a quick stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled with salads, as a dip, or as a condiment.
Tips
- Use high-quality Maytag blue cheese for the most authentic and robust flavor profile.
- Ensure all ingredients are cold when mixing for the best texture and consistency.
- Let the dressing rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to fully develop and meld together.
- For a smoother consistency, you can use a whisk or even a food processor to blend the ingredients.
- If the dressing is too thick, thin it out with a little milk or buttermilk.
- Taste and adjust seasoning gradually—blue cheese is already quite strong, so be careful with salt.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
