The BEST Blue Cheese Dip and Dressing

This blue cheese dip and dressing truly is THE BEST! We don’t say that lightly — this dressing is so so creamy thanks to Greek yogurt, mayo and buttermilk, and so flavorful thanks to fresh herbs, garlic and lemon juice.

Why you’ll love it!

Make it a dressing: With just the right amount of buttermilk, you’ll have an amazingly creamy and delicious blue cheese dressing for your salad.

Make it a dip: Not only is this blue cheese dressing amazing on salads, but we also love using this as a dip for veggies, chicken wings, and more! Just skip the buttermilk for a thicker consistency.
