Creamy Blue Cheese
Dressing
I am a big
fan of cheese in all its different forms and Blue Cheese is one of my
favorites. With a history going back to at least 79 AD Blue Cheese comes in
several forms depending on its place of origin and the type of milk curd it is
made from. The one thing all Blue Cheeses have in common is the distinctive bluish
veins that run through them. This is caused by the presence of saprotrophic
fungus Penicillium roqueforti, the same mold that gave us Penicillin.
Here is my
recipe for a Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing. There are actually two different versions
of this recipe with the only difference being one is made with Yogurt and the
other with Sour Cream. Use whichever gives you the flavor profile that you are
looking for.
½ cup Mayonnaise
½ cup Plain Yogurt or 2 Tbs Sour
Cream
1 Tbs Chives
1Tbs Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbs Blue Cheese (type of your
choice) softened
In a bowl
place the Blue Cheese and Lemon Juice mash and mix with a fork until you have a
paste. Slowly whisk in Mayonnaise
until cheese paste is well incorporated then add your Chives and Parsley and
lastly mix your Yogurt or Sour Cream in. Chill and Enjoy!
