Description

A tangy and creamy blue cheese vinaigrette that enhances salads, grilled vegetables, and more.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz blue cheese (Roquefort or Gorgonzola)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic, red wine, or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup cream or sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients and measure them out for a smooth mixing process.
  2. In a medium bowl, crumble the blue cheese, then add olive oil and vinegar. Whisk together gently, breaking down the blue cheese slightly.
  3. Stir in cream or sour cream until well-combined for a creamy texture.
  4. Add Dijon mustard and minced garlic, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
  5. Fold in fresh herbs for extra flavor.

  7. Serve drizzled over salads, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating a spoonful of honey or a splash of lemon juice.
