Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat mayonnaise. If you want a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of blue cheese or substitute with feta cheese. Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can also add a nice touch. To enhance the tanginess, consider adding a splash more of lemon juice or using Greek yogurt in place of some mayonnaise.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious blue cheese dressing as a dip for fresh vegetables or as a topping for salads. It pairs beautifully with Marvelous 'Super' Salad. You can also use it as a spread on sandwiches or burgers for an extra burst of flavor, or alongside wings for a classic combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover True Blue Cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 3-5 days. To bring the flavors back after refrigeration, simply stir well before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change when thawed.
