  • 2 oz Blue cheese crumbled
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp Sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mash the crumbled blue cheese with a fork until it begins to break down into smaller bits. Leave some chunks for texture if you like a rustic-style dressing.

  4. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and taste—adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. If you’d like a thinner consistency, stir in a small splash of water or milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired texture.
