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!
Guys…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. Seriously..make this right now.
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. This homemade chunky blue cheese dressing would also be fabulous on your favorite wedge salad, or wings, or a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap or sandwich….or in a straw…however you eat it, it will be fantastic – I promise.
I do have a few tips for you though – one, 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. The second tip, 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.

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!
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!!!
Why white wine vinegar? Don’t have any so just checking! Thanks!
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Made this today and it turned out great! I had buttermilk on hand so used it. Great and easy recipe!
SO happy you loved it! Thanks!
Can I substitute Miracle Whip in place of mayonnaise? Miracle Whip is our product of choice.
it will definitely give the dressing a different taste, but if you like it, it might turn out tasty!
can you make it with whit vinegar?
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 😊
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.
I allergic to blue cheese, may try parm. Will let you how than works out
Yes, let me know!
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
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 👅
Ohhhhh yeah!!!!! I love it too 🙂
