Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend the Roquefort cheese with the mayonnaise and sour cream using a food processor. If you don’t have Roquefort cheese, you can substitute with Gorgonzola or another blue cheese. Adjust the garlic salt to taste, especially if you're using a saltier cheese. This dressing can also be thinned with a bit of milk if you prefer a lighter consistency.
Serving Suggestions
This Roquefort dressing is perfect drizzled over fresh salads, particularly those with mixed greens, pears, or walnuts. It also pairs beautifully with grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
