    Featured Comment from Leslie:
    "5 stars. Easy to make, even my non-blue-eating husband liked the dip with the wings."

    This dipping sauce has a wonderful fresh taste that is not present in commercial versions or blue cheese dressing. It's the perfect dip for Buffalo wings or raw vegetables like celery sticks, carrots, bell peppers, cauliflower, or green onions.

    Make it 3-4 days ahead of your party. It is an easy dip to make with everyday ingredients from your local grocery store and only 5 minutes of preparation time.

    👨‍🍳How to make blue cheese dip

    blue cheese and dip ingredients.

    Add ½ cup of blue cheese crumbles to a mixing bowl. If they are large, then break them up with a fork.

    mixing dip in small bowl.

    Add ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons milk, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Mix well.

    For more details, keep reading. See the Recipe Card below for complete instructions and to print.

    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.

    How to use blue cheese dip

    Use blue cheese dip, not only with wings, but as a general dip at parties. Try it on your next burgers, with steaks, and tortilla chips. It makes a great blue cheese salad dressing.

    How to safely serve the 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 must be under 40°, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.

    How to store blue cheese dip

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

    Do not freeze.

    FAQs

    What is blue cheese?

    Blue cheese is made with pasteurized goat, sheep, or cow's milk. It is cultured with Penicillium Roquefort, which produces the distinctive color and flavors. It is available in blocks of cheese but the crumble version is commonly used for salads or to make sauce and dips.

    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.
