Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
Blue Cheese or Roquefort Dressing, creamy, tangy, and full of flavour—this dressing is a nostalgic nod to classic American comfort food.
My time living in the USA left a lasting impression on my palate, and one thing I can never forget is the unforgettable tang of a proper blue cheese dressing. Whether it was drizzled over a wedge salad, served alongside buffalo wings, or spooned generously onto a juicy burger, this creamy, sharp, and slightly funky dressing always brought that extra something.
Now I whip up this version at home, so quickly in the Thermomix, whenever I need a taste of those fond memories. It’s ridiculously easy to make, endlessly versatile, and so much better than anything from a bottle.
Known as Roquefort dressing in the USA (normally) as a reference to the cheese used, you could hardly call this Gorgonzola dressing…unless you really wanted to! So Blue Cheese dressing it is. Give me a wedge of cos (iceberg, romaine) lettuce and a dollop of dressing…and you could say I am happy as a clam, though how happy clams are, I am still unsure.
