Ingredients
- 4 oz blue cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder

Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Stir until smooth and well mixed.

Fold in the crumbled blue cheese, gently mixing until evenly distributed throughout the dressing. You can use a fork to mash some of the blue cheese into smaller pieces if a smoother dressing is preferred.

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed—add a pinch more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 5
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
