The Test Kitchen has been engaged in a fierce debate recently over which creamy, mayo-based dressing reigns supreme: Is it Blue Cheese, or is it Ranch? It should be obvious already that I’m team Blue Cheese. This recipe is my go-to when it comes to iceberg-based salads and, of course, buffalo wings. I prefer a rich, mild blue cheese like Danish Blue or Gorgonzola and always try to crumble it myself. I also call for a little buttermilk which helps to loosen the consistency and add a subtle tang. This should last up to a week in the fridge.


Ingredients

  • 4 ounce blue cheese
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
