Sour Cream Blue Cheese Dressing
Jul 27th, 2010 by Ace
Dragonia lifted the original recipe for this from Cooks.com, although she says the site sucks, because there are often omissions in the recipe ingredient lists and instructions that do not become evident until you do a thorough read-through. But there were no such problems here. We had everything that was necessary already in the house, anyway:
- 1 cup “cream top” plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup California-style 4% cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream (full-fat)
- 1 cup blue cheese
Throw all the ingredients except the blue cheese into your bowl of choice and beat ‘em until they’re smooth (we used a power hand blender). Add the blue cheese afterward; blend some in for flavor and leave some in large chunks for texture. You’ll have three cups of dressing when you’re done. Good to go!
We gave it a goodly grinding of fresh black pepper, and poured it over a spinach salad with ham, cucumber, green onions, mushrooms and sunflower seeds. Then we paired it with Pomelo 2008 Sauvignon Blanc. And Mosel 2007 Zeller Schwarze Katz. And Caymus 2008 Conundrum. And dunked Snyder’s sourdough pretzels in the leftover dressing and ate them, too.
Every so often, I crave blue cheese dressing, so I’ll remember this for the next craving. Thanks, Dragonia!
In addition to everything else, it makes an utterly amazing dip for filet mignon/ hot oil fondue.
