This Blender Blue Cheese Dressing recipe is perfect for wing dipping, salad eating, veggie munching and a whole lot more! In less than five minutes you can be enjoying the best blue cheese dressing of your life.
Blue cheese has been my favorite dressing for as long as I can remember. I get it with and on everything. Like, can’t get enough of it. Here’s the thing with blue cheese dressing though – it’s totally hit or miss. Sometimes I get lucky and it is just beyond words awesome and other times it’s so bad I can’t eat my salad.
Good news? It’s crazy easy to make at home and it’s the best blue cheese dressing around.
So here’s the trick to blue cheese dressing – your blender. Yep. See, while it’s imperative to have chunks of blue cheese in your dressing, it’s also equally important to distribute that fabulous blue cheese flavor throughout. Otherwise, it’s like eating mayonnaise and sour cream, and that’s just.not.that.appealing.
I put about half of my blue cheese crumbles in with the rest of the ingredients and blend away. The other half gets stirred in later so each and every nibble of this dressing is spot-on perfect.
Use buttermilk or milk to thin if this dressing turns out a little too thick for your taste. I like mine thick and chunky, but either way, it’s going to blow you away.
Whether you’re making this dressing for your favorite wedge salad or using it as a dip for the perfect buffalo wings – this blue cheese dressing is going to find it’s way into your heart – promise!

I just hopped on pinterest to look up blue cheese dipping sauce, and one of your photos popped up. The recipe looks amazing!! I’m going to be making this to go along with a batch of chicken wings, although I’m going to try to sub out the mayo for Greek yogurt. We’ll see what happens! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
