What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the best flavor, use a wedge of good-quality blue cheese and crumble it yourself. Pre-crumbled cheese is often drier.
- 2Letting the dressing chill is key! The flavors deepen and become much more complex after resting.
- 3For a smoother dressing, you can combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until it reaches your desired consistency.
- 4This dressing is not just for salads! Use it as a dip for chicken wings, fresh vegetables like celery and carrots, or as a spread on a burger.
- 5Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
