Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients

  • Mayonnaise. This smooth and rich sauce is the foundation of the dressing.
  • Sour Cream. Sour cream’s acidic, slightly tart flavor is a perfect complement to the creamy mayonnaise in this dressing.
  • Blue Cheese. Blue cheese is the hero of the dressing because of its intense and unique flavor. The contrast between its crumbly texture and powerful flavor and the smoothness of the other ingredients is exquisite.
  • Buttermilk. The addition of buttermilk gives the dressing a pleasant tang and makes it thinner, so it can be easily poured over salads.
  • Lemon Juice. When added to the dressing, fresh lemon juice awakens the flavors and imparts a reviving zesty accent.
  • Worcestershire Sauce. The umami-rich flavors and traces of sourness in this sauce make a wonderful addition to the dressing.
  • Dijon Mustard. A dollop of Dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier to keep the dressing from separating and adds a touch of mild spice and a velvety texture.
  • Garlic Powder. Garlic powder adds a touch of delicate savory flavor to the dressing, elevating its overall flavor.
  • Salt And Black Pepper. These key seasonings provide harmony to the dish by enhancing the flavor of each component in a proportionate manner.

How can I make Cheese Dressing more tangy?

Cheese Dressing can be made more sour by increasing the amount of lemon juice or vinegar used. If you want to amp up the tanginess, add a little Dijon or whole-grain mustard.

How do I prevent This Blue Cheese Dressing from becoming too thick?

Add a little bit of buttermilk, sour cream, or milk at a time if your cheese dressing starts to get too thick. Whisk in the liquid gradually until the mixture reaches the required consistency.

Can I use This Dressing as a marinade for grilled meats?

Absolutely! Grilled meats benefit from a delicious marinade made with Cheese Dressing. You can use the dressing to marinade the meat for as long as you like before throwing it on the grill. The dressing will make the grilled meats more tender and give a tangy flavor.

What To Serve With Blue Cheese Dressing

  • Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The acidic blue cheese dressing complements the smooth texture of the mashed potatoes, and the sweetness of the roasted garlic rounds out the dish well.
  • Grilled Asparagus. Grilled asparagus has a smokier flavor that pairs well with the sharpness of blue cheese dressing. The asparagus gives the meal a light, crisp texture.
  • Sweet Potato Fries. The blue cheese dressing’s tanginess is nicely countered by the sweetness of the sweet potato fries. The fries’ pleasant crunch comes from their crispy texture.
  • Caesar Salad. Blue cheese dressing complements the basic flavor profile of romaine lettuce, croutons, and parmesan cheese, resulting in a salad that works equally well as an appetizer or a main course.
  • Grilled Corn On The Cob. The smokiness of the grilled corn on the cob contrasts wonderfully with the tanginess of the blue cheese dressing. The sweetness of the corn complements the tang of the blue cheese, giving a well-rounded taste.

Recipe Variations

  • Spicy Jalapeno Blue Cheese Dressing. Fresh jalapenos in your dressing add a spicy kick that goes great with grilled meats and vegetables. The blue cheese’s mellow creaminess tempers the dish’s inherent spiciness, making each bite an explosion of flavor.
  • Honey Mustard Blue Cheese Dressing. This honey-and-mustard-based take on our classic Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing adds a unique sweetness and tang to salads and makes for an excellent dipping sauce for chicken tenders. Honey’s mild sweetness contrasts nicely with the pungent blue cheese, making for a well-rounded bite.
  • Bacon Blue Cheese Dressing. The addition of bacon bits will take your dressing to the next level. Bacon’s smokiness complements blue cheese’s tang, making for a delicious dressing that works well on burgers, sandwiches, and salads.
  • Herb Blue Cheese Dressing. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, may do wonders for a dressing. The bright, fresh flavor brought out by the herbs in the dressing makes it a great match for grilled meats and vegetables.
