Creamy Blue Cheese Dip (Printable)
A rich, tangy blue cheese dip ready in 10 minutes, perfect for veggies, wings, and chips.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
02 - ½ cup sour cream
03 - ½ cup mayonnaise
→ Fresh Produce
04 - 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
→ Condiments & Seasonings
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
07 - ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 - Salt, to taste
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Fold together until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks of blue cheese intact for texture.
02 - Stir in the minced garlic, chopped chives, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Taste the dip and add salt as needed. Keep in mind that blue cheese already contributes natural saltiness.
04 - Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
05 - Transfer to a serving bowl and serve chilled alongside fresh vegetable sticks, potato chips, or buffalo wings.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The texture walks a perfect line between creamy and chunky, giving you real bites of blue cheese in every scoop.
- It requires zero cooking and comes together faster than you can heat up a batch of frozen wings.
02 -
- If you add salt before refrigerating, the dip will taste much saltier after resting, so always err on the side of less and adjust at the end.
- Garlic continues to intensify as it sits, which is why one small clove is enough for the entire batch.
03 -
- Take the blue cheese out of the fridge twenty minutes before mixing so it softens and blends more easily into the base.
- A pinch of celery salt stirred in at the end adds a subtle savory depth that makes people think you did something complicated.
