This Best Ever Homemade Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing is cool, creamy, tangy, and full of chunky blue cheese crumbles. It's incredibly easy and delicious!
This is seriously the BEST EVER homemade chunky blue cheese dressing. I know, I know; tons of recipes claim to be the ‘best ever’, but believe me when I say…this is THE BEST EVER Chunky Blue Cheese. Blue cheese is just one of those things, you either like it or you hate it. I happen to LOVE it, and will pretty much put it on whatever I can.
There have been many times when I have thought that whatever I am eating is just a vessel for the sauce or dip. This is why blue cheese makes the perfect veggie dip…because all you can taste is the blue cheese. If you are a fan of the cool, creamy, tangy, chunky blue cheese, then you HAVE to try this. Try it with these Instant Pot Chicken Wings, Air Fryer Buffalo Wings, or Simple Wedge Salad!
With the exception of the actual blue cheese, you most likely have everything for this chunky blue cheese dressing in your pantry or fridge, which is another reason I love it so much. When I was making it, I really wanted to use buttermilk, but guess what? I didn’t have any. So what to do? Just make buttermilk yourself – all it takes is some milk and vinegar – easy peasy.
PRO TIPS:
- Make this Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing and let it sit in the fridge AT LEAST four hours. Please, please, please. If you don’t follow this very important tip, this may just turn out not to be the best ever, and I can’t have that. It must be the best ever, so you have to let this bad boy meld it’s flavors in the fridge at least four hours.
- Use real blue cheese and crumble it yourself. You can by chunks of this stuff in the produce/deli/cheese section of your grocery store. If you absolutely can’t find it because you live in the middle of nowhere, then fine, use pre-crumbled blue cheese…it might not be as good, but it will still be delicious.
- Dip these delicious Air Fryer Buffalo Wings into this best ever blue cheese dressing or use it on top of this Buffalo Chicken Salad! Match made in heaven!
- It's NORMAL for the dressing to separate a bit as it sits in the fridge. Just mix again with a fork thoroughly.

Doris says
Hi Allyson!
I just found your site when searching for the blue cheese dressing recipe----Yes, this a winner but I ramped mine up a tad with actual crushed garlic and a dash of hot sauce. Hope to get some more tasty ideas from what looks like to be a wonderful food sharing website. Thanks a bunch!
Allyson says
You are so welcome! Those sound like amazing additions! I will have to try that when I make it next time. Thank you for coming by and I hop eyou enjoy my recipes!!!
Chris Thomas says
Try adding 1 pickled hot jalapeño pepper.
Super!!!!
Allyson says
Holy moly YUM!
Barbara Burns says
I make an amazing blue cheese dressing, I don't share the recipe but a couple of tips to make it more foolproof, Don't cut corners. Use quality products, it does make a difference. Most important, DON'T try to lighten it up by using low-fat products. It will not have the same consistency !
Helen says
Just share, I love sharing my recipes. And am so disappointed when someone says they won’t share!! We all love to cook, so come on! You know you want to!!
Allyson says
Helen, this is the BEST recipe so don't worry, I already shared 🙂
markella carnevale says
If your not going to share you should not comment
Deborah says
I agree. What's the point? Seems a bit curmudgeonly to me.
Allyson says
LOL!!!
Allyson says
Doesn't matter, THIS is the best recipe 100%
mJ says
I agree it’s it bit selfish not to share…just sayin’ I always share…
Carolee Zentkovich says
Mine was thick the day I made it and the next day day very watery and thin. What happened. Sooo disappointed.
Allyson says
Did you mix it up the next day?
Lora says
I think it's so rude and arrogant when people say, "I have the best recipe, but I don't share it." Why wouldn't you want other people to enjoy the recipe and have people being thankful for it???
Doug Pratt says
Some people are just born A-Holes.!
Jen says
No one wants your recipe. You can feel superior somewhere else!!
Milt Keller says
I share every recipe I have...if all felt that way, you'd have no recipes! Bon Appetit!
Jeff says
Lol, whatever Barbara! Don’t share your recipe, just the pejorative insinuation of superiority, lol. This recipe, as posted, is excellent and provides an option for the majority of home cooks who don’t have buttermilk in their pantry and don’t need to buy a jug of it to produce 1/3 of a cup. Also, using garlic powder or granulated garlic is a way better idea than using fresh garlic so that you can actually taste the blue cheese and it’s flavor against the creamy background.
Gay says
You don’t share! That’s the goofiest thing I’ve ever heard! Recipes are about sharing, AND, we are all different so we tweak accordingly! Guess I won’t share my Shallot Vinaegrette from a restaurant I managed and Maple Vinaigrette from a CIA Valdictirian Chef. Get over yourself!
Donna Place says
Hi, Gay, I would love to have both recipes. I'm trying to stay away from creamy and store-bought dressings. My husband likes the creamy bottled ones.
Robert says
If you don’t share it, why are you sharing tips? Ridiculous.!
Milt Keller says
That makes it even better....thanks!!
Anni says
I'm shocked that you said that this will be good for a month so I'm sure it'll last a week. I'm going to sterilize the jar and utensils.
Chez Quelle Heure says
Where's the "Wooster" sauce? and, use real minced garlic...
Milt Keller says
I add it every time I make this...AND REAL GARLIC!
Jo says
I use Wooster AND A1 on most meat recipes I make. It seems to add that perfect blend of Unami and is a wonderful addition. I should add it’s also delicious in scrambled eggs!
J9 says
This recipe is off the charts! We’ve had it 3 times in 7 days. Love that you don’t need to buy buttermilk.
Allyson says
YESSSS!!! Love hearing that!
Milt Keller says
Yes! Fresh garlic minced is the ticket! Garlic powder just doesn't do it. Thanks so much for this.
Allyson says
YES! So good!
Erin says
Why white wine vinegar? Don't have any so just checking! Thanks!
Randy says
Vinegar in the milk takes the place of buttermilk. The dressing needs the hit of acidity in some form.
Jo Ann says
Don't fret if you don't have or can't find White Wine Vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar (with a Tbls, or 2 of White Wine, if you have that on hand -- if not, again, don't fret!) will work just fine in this recipe. As would a Tbls. or 2 of Lemon or Lime Juice (I use concentrate but acknowledge that freshly juiced is probably tastier. Randy (above) is right: "[EVERY] dressing needs the hit of acidity in some form". Hope this helps.
Beth Wilson says
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Cherie says
Made this today and it turned out great! I had buttermilk on hand so used it. Great and easy recipe!
Allyson says
SO happy you loved it! Thanks!
Reg says
Can I substitute Miracle Whip in place of mayonnaise? Miracle Whip is our product of choice.
Allyson says
it will definitely give the dressing a different taste, but if you like it, it might turn out tasty!
Donna says
can you make it with whit vinegar?
Yvonne says
Absolutely the best blue cheese dressing! Made it yesterday AND again today and I was surprised how easy it is to make with ingredients I already had on hand the only thing I had to run out and buy was the blue cheese! No more of the ready made stuff at the store. Your homemade version is a household favorite. Thank you for sharing 😊
Sue says
I can now stop looking for the best blue cheese dressing because I have found it with this one. Delicious although next time I will add a crushed garlic clove rather than garlic powder as I like a stronger garlic flavour.
Julie says
I allergic to blue cheese, may try parm. Will let you how than works out
Allyson says
Yes, let me know!
Natalie Hogan says
I made this last night for xmas eve-- we used St. Agur blue cheese, so it was quite decadent and very delicious. We served it over kale salad with golden beets and apples-- highly recommend!!! 10/10
Gail says
I made this tonight following the recipe with the exception of adding fresh garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice. I was licking the spoon it was so good. I will definitely bookmark for the future. Yum yum 👅
Allyson says
Ohhhhh yeah!!!!! I love it too 🙂
Tracy says
This was amazing. I used avocado mayo and left out the sugar. I will never buy the bottled junk again. Thank you for a great recipe.
Allyson says
What a great idea with the avocado mayo!!!! Sounds delicious! No bottle compares to the homemade recipe! It's TOO good! Happy New Year!
Mama Cindy Rogofsky says
What in heck ever happened to Hellman's blue cheese? I used to love that and my supermarket stopped selling it along with Sally Sherman potato salad?
Allyson says
I have never tried that, but I bet this one is better! Try it and let me know 🙂
Jo Ann says
Hellman's Blue Cheese Salad Dressing WAS good (they must have discontinued it, because I haven't been able to find it in more than quite a while, either). But you're right, Allyson -- your homemade version of Blue Cheese Dressing is FAR superior to how I remember the Hellman's bottled brand being. Thank you for your recipe.
Allyson says
I am SO happy to hear that! Definitely a favorite over here!
Carmen says
I made this earlier today and I thought it was great! I decided to stir and test it after a 4-5 hours of sitting in the fridge, to my disappointment...it is completely runny, It is no longer thick and chunky, any thought? I am prepping for our super bowl party tomorrow, but I might have to start over with this. BTW, I used buttermilk.
Carmen
Allyson says
Hmmm, did you remix it? I usually let mine sit overnight and it gets even thicker.
Elena says
This happened to me as well (the runny ness) but still tastes amazing
Miki says
To thicken, try adding 1/8 tsp corn starch with the wine vinegar. Stir well. Pour through cheese cloth or mesh to get rid of lumps.
Another thought.... very finely milled white rice /"minute" rice, as it absorbs liquids. Just use a couple of dashes.(I always keep milled rice powder around, since some gel cap meds and vitamins stick. This helps them not to in the bottle.) To mill, use a coffee grinder and pulverize it, taking breaks between milling steps.
Do not use flour, as it has a flavor.
Both should be mixed well and sit overnight (6+ hrs).
Randy says
This is a delicious dressing. Used Roquefort. The tiny amount of sugar really evens it out, but trying it pre and post sugar, I think I liked it better without it. More tang! Used a very small amount of crushed garlic.
This recipe has ruined store bought.
Allyson says
Isn't it SO good?!?! I can never buy store bought anymore either!!!
Vicky Winteringham says
Don't know if this really is the best ever blue cheese dressing, but I made it yesterday and I won't be looking for another with which to compare it. Fabulous. All one needs is a bunch of leafy greens and this dressing. Heaven. Thanks so much.
Allyson says
Yessssss!!!!
Deb says
This really is delish! I didn’t have sour cream so substituted low fat Greek yogurt. Nice and thick and very tasty!
Bryan says
I'm going to try low fat Greek yogurt also. Creamy, tasty, tangy and low fat - compared to cream. I think I'll add crushed garlic and a teaspoon of virgin olive oil as well.
Allyson says
Good luck! I hope you love it!
Pam says
I don’t have white wine vinegar. Can I sub rice vinegar or white wine?
Allyson says
Pam- I am not sure as I have not tried those substitutions, however white vinegar is found in almost all grocery/convenience/pharmacy stores!
Mandy Williams says
Recipe lists white vinegar and white wine vinegar...so both? Can’t wait to try it.
Linda says
I make it without the sugar and it's Delish! Can we get breakdown on ingred list so I can figure out how many weight watcher points per serving?
Allyson says
So glad you like it! What do you mean a breakdown on ingredient list? The ingredient list is in the post.
Laurie Patillo says
Allyson I have a 5lb bag of blue cheese crumbles . I would love to put up some blue cheese dressing , but have no idea how to jar anything I can't
heat up . Would you know how to can it ?
Dick says
Bought myself a pellet smoker so put the first batch of pulled pork on to cook. Decided to get some blue cheese crumbles to put on top of sandwich. Than decided why not some bc dressing. Heck what a find I'll be hard pressed to stop eating this stuff. Can't wait for it to set and didnt....had to try it out. Pork will be done in another 4 hours and so will the dressing. Can't wait! Thanks so much
Allyson says
So?!?! How did it turn out? Can't wait to hear!
Mike Minor says
Blue cheese is my favorite dressing. I had never made it before, but I followed the directions as per the recipe. This was, by far, the absolute best Blue Cheese dressing I have ever had.I'm putting some on a wedge salad and Angus New York strips, tonight. Thanks for sharing!!!
Allyson says
So happy you loved it as much as we do! It definitely lives up to the name! Enjoy!
Jim Pavshak says
Thanks for the recipe Allyson! I just made my first batch of it. I used 1 minced garlic clove in place of the powder. I licked the mixing bowl clean! Now it's a 4 hour wait.. 🙂
Thanks again!
Jim
Allyson says
Jim - I know how you feel...I actually have to stop myself from making it because I WILL EAT IT ALL!!! Too good! So happy you liked it!
Jim Pavshak says
Hi Allyson.
I made this recipe a couple times now. I absolutely love it!! I do substitute a clove of fresh garlic for the garlic powder.
Thank you so much!
Jim
Allyson says
I am so happy you love it Jim! We make it all the time too!
Jack B. Nimble says
Try some finely chopped dill for a wonderful twist. I also use real garlic when possible too. Worcestershire sauce also adds a bit more umami to it.
Maryg says
Sorry if I've rated this before, but it is SO good. It turns out perfectly every single time. Delicious!
Allyson says
Thank you so much!! We love it too!
Deborah Miller says
Same! I've made it several times now and just keeps getting better.
Marian says
Just made this for a special anniversary date night in. It's wonderful tasting. I don't think I'll ever buy this dressing again. Thank you.
Allyson says
So glad you loved it! Happy Anniversary!
Natalie says
This is the best recipe I've made for blue cheese dressing and I've tried many! I think one of the keys to this recipe is the first 2 steps, letting the milk and vinegar sit for 5 min and then mixing the blue cheese together with the "buttermilk" - this is DELISH! I made it exactly as written. I used Hellman's mayo (store didn't have Dukes which I usually use) and Boars Head Blue Cheese. Yummy!!! 5star recipe!
Allyson says
YES!!!! I am so glad you loved it and I totally agree!!!
Jeannine Firestenberg says
This sounds like a great recipe. I'm trying to make everything from scratch and not use store bought condiments. But this recipe calls for mayo, and that is a store bought condiment. Do you know what I could use to replace the mayo?
Allyson says
Homemade mayo?
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
3/4 cup canola oil, divided
PREPARATION
Combine egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Whisk until blended and bright yellow, about 30 seconds.
Using 1/4 teaspoon measure and whisking constantly, add 1/4 cup oil to yolk mixture, a few drops at a time, about 4 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup oil in very slow thin stream, whisking constantly, until mayonnaise is thick, about 8 minutes (mayonnaise will be lighter in color). Cover and chill. do ahead Can be made up to 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
GaryT says
Agree with those who suggest omitting the sugar. No need to "balance out" the "tang." And using Miracle Whip would be heresy in my book.
CARL ARRIOLA says
Much as we love bleu cheese dressing, it would still take us about 2-3 weeks to finish a 2 cup batch. How long is the (refrigerated) shelf life of this recipe?
Allyson says
It should stay good in the fridge for a few weeks, just stir is or shake it every few days!
Mary says
OK! Maybe this really IS the very best! Had a craving for a wedge with homemade roquefort dressing and I found this, and OMG, i ate wedges every day til the dressing was GONE. A few weeks later, I wanted to make it again, but I couldn't find the recipe! Looked EVERYWHERE, and finally gave up and made the "classic" recipe that kept popping up. Guess what? I was seriously disappointed. It wasn't NEARLY as good as this one. And now I'm stuck with a pretty large batch. Well, I went all-out, determined to find this one again, and after a major sleuthing expedition, I finally found it! YAYYYY!! Printed it right out, and it's safely in my recipe folder now, never to be lost again. BTW, I used homemade kefir instead of buttermilk. Fabulous. Thanks!!
Allyson says
Oh wow!!! I am so happy you ended up finding it again! I love this recipe too and I don't make it nearly enough! Thanks so much for your kind words! Happy holidays!
Toni says
This is really good! Amazing flavors!
Lauren says
Homemade dressing is aways the best!
Sabrina says
Wow, you really nailed this one!! I will never buy store bought again!
Jennifer says
This is my FAVORITE blue cheese dressing recipe! It’s the only one I make! It’s so good!!!
Jocelyn says
This really is the best homemade blue cheese dressing. My husband loved it!!!
Sabrina says
This is a must have to have on hand especially on game day! Such great flavor!
Paula says
Love making homemade dressings! Go big bleu!
Jacque Hastert says
Nothing beats a homemade dressing. I will be making this for my meal prep salad next week. Can't wait!
alyssa | everydaymaven says
Printing this for the game this weekend to go with our hot wings!
Melanie Bauer says
Looks awesome! I love how easy this recipe is and it's crazy delicious, absolutely a must try!
Erin | Dinners,Dishes and Dessert says
I know for sure this would be a huge hit in my house! This looks totally awesome!
Nancy Evans says
This dressing is absolutely delicious as mentioned in the posts already. I made it exactly per the recipe. Does anyone know the nutrition information? I'm a diabetic and will definitely adjust my other foods so this can be in my meal plan!
Thank you!
Allyson says
Nancy- the ingredients can be plugged into a nutrition calculator to figure out the information, however I went ahead and did it for you. For the ENTIRE jar of dressing the nutrition is as follows: calories 1121, Total Fat 99 grams, Saturated Fat 42 grams, Cholesterol 187 mg, Sodium 2695 mg, Total Carbohydrate 17 grams, Dietary Fiber 5 grams, Sugars 7 grams, Protein 36 grams. Remember this recipe makes about 2 cups of dressing.
For a 2 TBS serving, it would be about: calories 70, Total Fat 6 grams, Saturated Fat 3 grams, Cholesterol 12 mg, Sodium 168 mg, Total Carbohydrate 1 g, Dietary Fiber 0 g, Sugars 0 g, Protein 2 g
Tanisha Nixon says
If to thick what should be added after setting? Just to loosen it up.
Bob says
I have been looking for a great Chunky Blue Cheese dressing, I liked the ingredients in yours and the many positive comments. I tried it, but found that it thinned out after a day or two in the jar in the fridge.
it started out thick and perfect for a salad dressing, it has good flavor especially with a good Blue Cheese.
How can I keep the original consistency?
Allyson says
Bob, I am sorry that happened, but I am not sure because I haven't experienced that. Did you try mixing it up before serving after a few days? Sorry I am not more help!
Bob says
I tried mixing it, still watery.
what kind of mayonnaise do you use?
I used miracle whip, don't know if this is the cause?
Deborah Mickow says
Bob, Miracle whip in my experience is too sweet for this lovely tangy dressing..also, Miracle whip is runnier than regular mayonnaise after sitting a few days. I would use regular mayonnaise next time.
Bob says
That solved the problem, I also cut back on the white wine vinegar, that smoothed out the flavor.
Thank you, great dressing
Art says
I HAVE MADE THIS RECIPE TWICE AND IT IS QUITE GOOD, BUT VERY "BLUE CHEESEY". I HAPPEN TO LIKE IT VERY STRONG HOWEVER IT MIGHT BE A BIT MUCH FOR SOME. WHEN REFERRING TO THE AMOUNT OF BLUE CHEESE, ARE YOU REFERRING TO 5 OUNCES BY WEIGHT OR 5 OUNCES BY VOLUME?
Mirna Pena says
Bomb! No more of the bottled stuff! Thank you!
Allyson says
You are so welcome!!!
Jim says
Hi Allyson.
I posted on here a couple times already. I just made this recipe again and it's chilling. But what I wanted to tell you is I wrote the recipe onto a recipe card just in case I'd lose this link or website. My family and I love it that much.
Thanks again.
Jim
Allyson says
Awwww! I hope you keep coming back to find new recipes as well! Enjoy it, Jim!
Eric Guido says
Excellent recipe. I've been on Keto for a while now and looking for a Blue Cheese dressing to use with no luck. I basically modified your recipe by substituting whole fat Kefif (basically like buttermilk with even less sugar), avocado mayo, powdered stevia (instead of sugar), and doubling the vinegar. Amazing. I know it may sound like I changed a lot but these were just substitutes. Even better a couple days after making it. Thank you--I have Blue Cheese Dressing Once Again!
Allyson says
So happy you loved it!!!
Erika says
I just tried this for the first time. So quick, so easy, SOOOOOOO good!!
Elizabeth Lancaster says
can i use lemon instead of the white wine? Thanks
Allyson says
Elizabeth I have never tried that but you are welcome to try- let me know how it turns out!
Amy says
Your Blue Cheese dressing looks luscious. Those rosemary skewered chicken bites are the perfect dipper. YUM! Pinned
steve wilson says
any idea about how ling it will keep?
steve wilson says
sorry. ho LONG it will keep in the fridge?
Allyson says
It should last about 3-4 weeks in the fridge kept sealed. You will have to mix it well every time you eat it. It might thin out a little over time.
Laurie F Patillo says
Is there anyway to can it so it can sit sealed on a shelf until needed . I have a large bag of blue cheese and don't want to loose it .
Allyson says
Laurie- Unfortunately I don't know anything about canning, so I don't know about that. You can however FREEZE blue cheese: To freeze blue cheese crumbles, tightly seal original packaging and place in freezer; if freezing for longer than 2 months, place package inside a heavy-duty freezer bag in order to prevent freezer burn.
Susan Dubose says
The best ever one by one I have tried them. This takes the grand prize
Deborah Ann Miller says
This recipe is bomb!!! Best blue cheese dressing I've ever eaten! I live in the UK and it's really hard to find decent blue cheese dressing here so I started buying Wish-Bone from specialty American importers at inflated prices. Then during lockdown, I couldn't even get that! A friend suggested I try making my own so an internet search brought me here. I used buttermilk and the dressing turned out so good, I couldn't stop eating it! I'll never go back to store-bought. A few friends have asked for the recipe so I've sent them here. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Allyson says
This is awesome!!!! thank you for sharing with me and I am going to share your comments on my FB page!
Callie says
I love bleu cheese dressing and this is so tasty! I added just a bit of milk to make it creamier. Spot on flavor!
Lori says
I have never made blue cheese dressing at home until now! So easy!
Juanita Voorhees says
I will make this soon and hope it compares to this restaurant in Charleston South Carolina, name Breck's. You can stand a fork in it and it stays standing and the taste is out of this world. I will get the ingredients tomorrow and let you know.
Juanita says
I made the recipe just like you have and it came out good better than I hoped but not as good as that one from that restaurant in Charleston, I will make again and add more blue cheese and maybe some other ideas I see from other commenters. Thank you I will also be trying other recipes you have.
Melissa says
They use condensed milk at Brecks 😉
Debra M. says
Condensed milk? That's sweet; are you sure that you don't mean evaporated?
Beth says
I just LOVE blue cheese! I can't wait to make this! It looks so delicious and tasty! Yummy!

Absolutely perfect blue cheese dressing recipe ! I love it more than any other I have tasted ! This recipe is going in the family recipe book 💜
Allyson says
This makes me so happy! Enjoy!
Malka says
I made it with buttermilk instead of the milk and vinegar mix and substituted ricotta cheese instead of sour cream, also used fresh garlic and mashed it all with a potato masher. It came out really delicious, now I have to wait 4 hours to eat it. Thank you.
Emily Stimpson says
It’s incredibly easy and delicious!
Hairstyles says
Really enjoyed this update, is there any way I can get an update sent in an email whenever there is a new update?
Allyson says
Sure! I will add you to that email list!
Curt Collins says
I want yo thank you so much for posting this recipe! Since i had the best blue cheese dressing to me in a the old Copal Grill, i had been disappointed with every other. Since the Copal Grill has been gone for years now i almost gave up on finding one that could compete. Until NOW! This turned out very very close. Just a little more “bold” i guess.. so i just backed out some of the Blue Cheese and garlic salt and added a little more butttermilk and sour cream. AND for those that say they got watery or runny dressing. You are not incorporating the blue cheese crumbles into your milk or buttermilk.. the thickness comes from incorporating in some of the Blue Cheese. That thickens it up. You can make it as thick as you want like this.. i just wanted to say thanks to you i will now enjoy blue cheese dressing for the rest of my life. I will eat much more vegetables in my diet because of you, so you will be responsible for making me a healthier person! Thank you SO much!!! I am having so much fun trying to adjust one thing at a time and fine tuning it to MY perfect Blue Cheese Dressing. I encourage each of you to do this as well. This was the BEST Blue Cheese Dressing Ever! Thanks so much!!
Allyson says
This makes me SO happy!!! I am so glad that you were able to get a close replication of your favorite blue cheese ever!!! Also happy to hear your diet will be filled with veggies....dunked in blue cheese! Nothing better!! Cheers my friend!
Viv Anderson says
I love ❤️ this recipe. I know I will make it regularly. I will need to make it again even though I just made it yesterday. It is so easy and why would I ever buy store bought again when this is soooo good🤗
Allyson says
I am so happy you love it as much as we do!!!
Tom Reynolds says
I don't often comment on recipes, but this IS fantastic. Because it is what I had in the house, I used lower fat mayo and lower fat sour cream the first time I made it. I had the same "thinning" problems others mentioned, but I also let it sit for several weeks without stirring. I made a second batch last evening, forgetting that it needs to sit for 4 hours. Using it immediately after mixing, it was still excellent. Looking forward to trying it again tonight!
Allyson says
Tom! Thank you so much for your glowing review! It really is the best!! It's good all the time and any time! Can't go wrong with bleu cheese!!!
Kellie Wallace says
Today marks the 21st time I've made this recipe over the past year or so. We just love wedge salads and the taste & texture of this dressing is amazing. Thanks so much for making all of your delicious recipes available to us.

This recipe is the BEST! It's great as is; you can also jazz it up with a dash of hot sauce and Worcestershire, or a pinch of onion powder, depending on your mood. I used red wine vinegar (it's what I had...where did the white wine vinegar go?), and it was still delicious! This is like you are served in the best restaurants!
Heather says
Spot. On!!! Delicious - thanks for the amazing recipe! Was amazing with our filet salad .... love!!!
Sandy says
This is the ONLY Blue Cheese dressing recipe for us. Make this every other week.
Pattu says
How long does it keep?
Gerald says
I am so confused, this recipe was super thin, it says 1/4 cup of mayo. Is this correct?
Allyson says
Hi Gerald, yes, the recipe is correct. Did you add the sour cream and blue cheese? It shouldnt be thin. Did you let it set in the fridge for 4 hours? Without being there I can't tell what went wrong, but there are 100's of reviews on this recipe that it turned out so I am guessing another ingredient was missed.
Kristen says
As someone trying to eliminate seed oils i made a variation of you recipe: i used whole milk cottage cheese instead of mayo (because store bought mayo is usually made with soybean oil or canola oil) and replaced the sugar with monk fruit sweetener to replace sugar so its keto friendly! Delicious!
Allyson says
Did you use the same measurements for your replacement? I will make note of this in the recipe for other KETO people!
Kristen Stensby says
Yes! Same measurements!
Chuck says
I'm not sure if it's because of where I live (East Cost of Canada), but I had never tried blue cheese dressing before, but heard it was popular in the US.
Curiosity piqued, I decided to look up a recipe (yours) and wow.. what a winner!
After I devoured that batch, I tried the only store-made brand I could find here.
Yours was miles ahead of the pre-made stuff and I spread the word (and the dressing itself) as far as wide as I can.
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Allyson says
Love that! So happy you enjoyed my recipe!!
Trish says
Yum, and it's not even sat for 4 hours. I didn't deviate much but cut back on the white wine vinegar as I figured I could add more if I want. I had the treasure cave (pre crumbled) brand in the freezer for awhile but it was fine. I do plan to get a wedge so I can add some fresh crumbles. I did add about 1/2 t of fresh lemon zest and more pepper. No salt as the bleu cheese is fairly salty. Bombdiliciousness.
Keeper recipe Allyson. Thank you and pinned.
Allyson says
Trish that sounds GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you enjoy it!
Chad says
Amazing, simply rich and powerful, I used Hellman's Real Mayo I may pull back the amount of mayo next time and use real buttermilk to see how it changed next month.
Allyson says
Thanks for your review, Chad!
Kat says
Love this recipe...absolutely delicious.
Liz says
This is hands down the BEST blue cheese dressing!… we love it chunky so I add a bit more blue cheese. Also, so much better when you use block blue cheese….like suggested.
Jodi says
Made this for chicken wings was absolutely delicious beyond belief. Will never buy the crapola in the store. So glad I ran into this recipe it’s a game changer for sure. I could drink it just like that. It’s more than 5 star!
Allyson says
You made me LOL but I am SO happy you found it too! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
Pauline says
My husband really likes this dressing! However, he has said it seems to be watered down after a day, what can be causing this?
Allyson says
It's the breakdown of the vinegar, just shake it up and it should meld back together!
Bruce Carlquist says
I haven't tried recipe yet because it doesn't utilize fresh garlic, I'm going to try the recipe using 4 toes of crushed garlic. Do you think that might be too much. Thanks
Allyson says
I haven't tried that so I have no idea. The recipe is amazing as written.
Lisa Killingsworth says
Just DELICIOUS!! Truly BEst Ever!! I can't believe it but I found a BONUS that I just had to share with you!! I bought Private Selction Smoked Blue Cheese Crumbles and was shocked that it ads a bacon flavor too- Just thrilled to have this recipe!!
Allyson says
Oh that sounds super yummy! I will be checking at Kroger for that!
Beth says
This looks amazing! I make some killer Buffalo wings, and I think this dressing is perfect for them!
Sandra says
Homemade dressing is always the best for me! Thanks so much for this recipe!
Erin | Dinners, Dishes and Dessert says
Looks absolutely fantastic! That is definitely a must make!
Catalina says
I love blue cheese so I will love this dressing!
El says
Wow! This really is THE BEST EVER...
Tried so many recipes and this is THE BEST EVER!
Right now, dipping air-fried cauliflower and it is THE BEST EVER
First time on your site. Thanks!
Allyson says
So happy you enjoyed it!! Don't be a stranger!
Brenda says
Not a blue cheese lover - but hubby is and this was delicious! For some reason I’ve been wanting a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and it was delicious. (I was thrilled considering a head of lettuce is now so expensive). Loved the recipe - will make again and again. Five stars all the way!
Tisha says
I'm a firm believer that homemade is always better
Katie says
Great stuff!! My husband is thrilled with it! Thank you!!!
Allyson says
It's soooo good! Total staple once you see how easy it is! Cheers!
Diane Kraft (foodieforpeace) says
There aren't enough stars for this dressing! Sharp, creamy, funky deliciousness! And so darn easy to make! It's the only one in my online cookbook. I made it for the first time in February 2020. Thanks so much!!
Allyson says
Diane thank you so much for coming back to make a positive comment! I am so happy your family has been enjoying if for THREE years! WOW!
Sandy says
This is AMAZING as is, and I have made it countless times. This time I used Gorgonzola Crumbles just for fun. YUM!!!
Aaron S Hill says
I'm not going to sugar coat this, I've been out for a counter meal twice in the last 2 weeks. And had buffalo wings. With the blue cheese dressing. I have just made this and yes this dressing is out of this world. The best of the best. Thankyou so much for this amazing recipe. 100% delicious.
Allyson says
I am so happy to hear you loved it!! Make sure you try it with these Air Fryer Buffalo Wings (fast & easy) because the pair cannot be beat!!!
Lady Bonnie Beal Young says
I made this in Scotland. Perhaps because the make up of the required ingredients is different (I.e. no corn syrup, sour cream is different consistency, mayo has more vinegar) and it came out quite watery. Lovely flavor. Next time I will use less milk?
Allyson says
Yes try less milk next time. It is hard to know without knowing the exact ingredients. I love Scotland though!!
Linda says
Thank you THANK YOU for this delicious recipe, easy even for us non-cooks. We love blue cheese dressing and won't buy, as Jodi said, "the crapola in the store". I've made this several times and made a double batch today because it goes so fast. I'm happy it's real ingredients and so, so good. Bring on the salad!
Allyson says
It's all about the sauce/dressing, right?!?! So happy you loved it!
Luci Marfoglia says
I'm confused. If I use buttermilk, I still use 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and later add 4 teaspoons of white wine vinegar? Is that correct?
Allyson says
If you use 1/3 cup buttermilk than omit the 1 tsp of white vinegar and the milk. Later add the 4 tsp of white WINE vinegar. Does that make sense?
Karyla Parrish says
When I click on the print , it comes up to print , but then immediately goes away and it won't let me print??? I'd really like to print it.

You probably have a popup blocker on your browser installed. If you disable that I bet it will work. Otherwise try from a different browser (if you are using chrome try safari)
Barb says
Tasty but much too thin. I wanted it to be like Rooster's for carrots and celery to have with chicken wings.
Allyson says
How long did you let it set in the fridge? If you don't let it firm up, then yes, it will be thin.
Lolk says
OMG this is so delicious I could just sit and eat it with a spoon. I used Castello Blue Cheese Double Creme. Also used heavy cream instead of milk for the "buttermilk" and white pepper instead of black. Thank you so very much for sharing. Now my go to recipe.
