Ingredients
1/2cupsour cream
1/4cupmayonnaise
1/4cupbuttermilk
1/4tspgarlic powder
3ozblue cheese
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper,to taste
chopped fresh chives or parsley,optional
Instructions
In medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Add the garlic powder and mix in.
Crumble the blue cheese and stir it into the dressing. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasons as needed: adding blue cheese, salt, and pepper until you are happy with the flavor.
The dressing will last for 4-5 days in the refrigerator when kept in a sealed container. You may wish to top the dressing with chives, parsley, or more blue cheese before serving.
Notes
Make Ahead: The dressing is best made a few hours ahead so that the flavors have time to mellow and fully combine.
Thickness: The dressing as written will be very thick when you take it out of the refrigerator. If you want a more pourable dressing, add buttermilk by the tablespoon until it is thin enough for you.
