*Blue Cheese Salad Dressing* Makes 10 servings One of my favourite salad dressings is Blue Cheese. You can't get a decent one in the shops and so I prefer to make my own. Marks and Spencer used to do a really good one, but you can't buy it anymore, well, at least not around here anyways! Plan ahead as this tastes better upon sitting overnight. 1 cup good quality Mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream 1/2 to 3/4 cup buttermilk 1/2 tsp ground white pepper 2 TBS grated onion 4-5 drops of Tabasco sauce 1 TBS lemon juice 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce 1/2 tsp salt a dash of cayenne pepper 1 clove of garlic, peeled and minced 2 tsp white sugar 6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk, adding as much of the buttermilk as you need to give it a good consistency. You want it to be pourable. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Cover and chill for 24 hours before serving. You may need to add a bit of regular milk if it is too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. |
