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. 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, Air Fryer Chicken Wings, or a buffalo chicken lettuce wrap or sandwich….or in a straw…however you eat it, it will be fantastic – I promise.
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!

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%
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???
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.
Milt Keller says
That makes it even better….thanks!!
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!
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
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.

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!
Erin | Dinners,Dishes and Dessert says

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.
Allyson says
What an amazing review!! I am going to share your kind words on my facebook page, too! We love this one and it is good on everything! Thanks for trying it out!
Krystle says
World’s better than storebought. We use this for dipping wings and its a hit!
Amanda says
That is how blue cheese should be done! Thank you!
Patricia says
Of all dressings, this is my fave 🙂 How great to have this recipe — homemade is always the tastiest!
Claire says
This is a bomb! I am SO excited to give this a try!
Erin says
This dressing couldn’t look any more perfect!
Amanda Livesay says
I can’t get enough of this dressing! It really is the best. And so easy!
Sandra says
I love how easy this is to make! Thanks for sharing the recipe! I think I’ll never go back to store-brought again!
Mark says
I tried this recipe and it came out great! My son really loved it, but then again he loves blue cheese!
Allyson says
So good on everything! Happy you loved it!
Deb M says
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!
