    👍Why you will try this recipe

    • It has a wonderful fresh taste not present in commercial versions or blue cheese dressing.
    • Very easy dip to make with common ingredients from your local grocery store and only 5 minutes of preparation time.
    • The perfect dip for Buffalo wings or raw vegetables like celery sticks, carrots, bell pepper, cauliflower, or green onions.
    • Try it on your next burger, serve it with tortilla chips, or on a salad.
    • It can be made 3-4 days ahead of your party.

    This is a companion post to my Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings post. I like to break my sauces and spice mix out to separate posts for other uses. You may also like some other appetizer recipes like Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites, Parmesan Sesame Crackers, Pineapple Mango Salsa, and Easy Guacamole.

    No inspiration recipe since it is 3-4 recipes combined. My wife gives it two thumbs up.

    🥣Ingredients

    • Blue cheese crumbles
    • Sour cream
    • Mayonnaise
    • Milk
    • Lemon juice
    • Pantry ingredients—garlic powder, salt, black pepper

    👨‍🍳How to make blue cheese dip

    1. In a medium bowl, add blue cheese crumbles and break them up with a fork.
    2. Add all other ingredients and mix well.

    Variations

    It is a dip, so you can easily make it your own. Here are a few suggestions.

    • For even more blue cheese flavor, use a wedge of blue cheese and break it up or increase the amount of blue cheese crumbles.
    • Use Greek yogurt to replace the sour cream.
    • Use gorgonzola cheese for a milder blue cheese flavor.

    ❓FAQs

    How to safely serve blue cheese dip?

    Your dip can not set out for more than two hours at room temperature. Or 1 hour if the temperature is over 90°. If you reach those limits, dump it.

    To keep the dip out longer, it needs to be under 40°, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.

    How to make blue cheese dip and store it?

    You can make up the dip and cover it tightly in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

    Do not freeze.

    Recipe Notes

    Pro Tips

    1. Remember that for food safety, your dip can not set out for more than two hours at room temperature. Or 1 hour if the temperature is over 90°. So if you reach those limits, dump it.
    2. To keep the dip out longer, it needs to be under 40°, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.
    3. This should be good refrigerated for 3-4 days. I would not freeze.

    To adjust the recipe size:

    You may adjust the number of servings in this recipe card under servings. This does the math for the ingredients for you. BUT it does NOT adjust the text of the instructions. So you need to do that yourself.
