Ingredients
- 4 ounces (1 cup) blue cheese crumbles
- 5 ounces (½ cup) Greek yogurt
- 4 ¼ ounces (½ cup) sour cream
- 1 1/2 ounces (3 Tablespoons) cream
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine blue cheese crumbles, Greek yogurt, sour cream, cream, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir until well mixed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use for up to 7 days.
Notes
Substitutions. Substitute parsley or green onions for the chives. For more zing and brightness, add more lemon juice. Use mayonnaise for the Greek yogurt or sour cream. Any type of hard, blue cheese will work in this recipe; traditional blue, gorgonzola, roquefort, or blue stilton. We don't recommend using a cambozola blue as it will be very soft and change the texture of the dip.
To make the dip into a dressing, add cream, half-and-half, or milk in small amounts until the desired consistency is reached.
Make this ahead of time and store up to 7 days in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
We mix this by hand, but if you prefer the taste of blue cheese without the distinct crumbles in the dip, you can use a hand mixer. NOTE: using a hand mixer will break down the blue cheese crumbles, resulting in a smoother dip without those delightful blue cheese chunks.
