Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the crumbled blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and black pepper into a medium bowl.
- Use a fork or a hand mixer to combine the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Do not overmix; some small chunks of cheese are desirable for texture.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a small pinch more salt if your blue cheese is mild.
- Cover the bowl and chill the blue cheese dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully combine.
- Serve cold with buffalo wings, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or sturdy crackers.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, reduce the sour cream slightly or add one tablespoon of cream cheese.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, similar to a dressing, add one teaspoon of milk or buttermilk until you reach your desired flow.
- This dip tastes best when made ahead of time, allowing the bold blue cheese flavor to develop.
