Roquefort (bleu cheese) dressing

Because Grace requested it, here's the recipe!

Roquefort Dressing
1 C sour cream
1 C mayo
2 oz Roquefort or Bleu Cheese (I used 3 oz)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/4 t garlic powder (I used about 1.5 t garlic powder)

Mix all ingredients until smooth in a blender or mixer. (I used the food processor.)
Let dressing ripen in fridge for several hours.
Makes 2 1/2 cups.

note: because I like my dressing tangier, after the first tasting, we also added about 2 T of apple cider vinegar to it and it was very good.

Recipe is originally from Junior League of Greenville, SC: 300 Years of Carolina Cooking.

Enjoy!

I'm going to have to go through all your recipes and put together something wonderful for Super Bowl Sunday in a few months... This dressing would work so well with buffalo wings!

Nice to find many other bleu cheese dressing lovers! There's a restaurant in town that we like that charges an extra 50 cents for bleu cheese dressing, but dh and I always go for it anyway because we love it so much.

Wendy, boy you are organized to be thinking of Super Bowl already!
