Blue Cheese Dressing
It's no big surprise to anyone who knows me that I have a strong dislike for mayonnaise. I recently had some blue cheese leftover, so my husband suggested that I make blue cheese dressing with it. While it was a great idea, I was dreading the thought of making it because of the mayonnaise I knew I would have to use. Don't get me wrong - I like to dip my buffalo chicken tenders in blue cheese dressing as much as the next person. I just try not to think of what it's made of while I'm eating it!
However, since it was a great idea and since I prefer to make as much as I can from scratch, I decided to go ahead and make it. I have to say I am really glad I did! All of us thought it tasted much better than store bought (yes, I tasted it too). So skip the store bought variety that's full of preservatives and make your own. It takes just a few minutes to throw together, and the result in so worth it! Here's my version:
Blue Cheese Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2-3 oz blue cheese, crumbled
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp Worcestershire
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried parsley
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream and blue cheese in a medium sized bowl. Stir to combine, breaking up the larger chunks of blue cheese. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Transfer the dressing to a container with a lid and let it set for at least an hour before using.

You should be able to substitute something for the mayonnaise if that's what you don't like.
