A cool, tangy dressing of buttermilk, sour cream, fresh chives and crumbled blue cheese.
About blue cheese dressing
Blue cheese dressing is a classic American creamy dressing and dip, especially familiar with wedge salad, celery and Buffalo-style wings. This profile fixes Food & Wine's buttermilk-and-sour-cream version with fresh chives and apple cider vinegar.
The flavour is tangy and savoury, with cultured dairy brightness, mellow onion, fresh chive and the salty depth of blue cheese.
It is pale and thick but pourable, with green chive flecks and small blue-cheese crumbles throughout.
