Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably Duke’s)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)

Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup crumbled high-quality blue cheese (Roquefort, Stilton, or Gorgonzola)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or prepared horseradish

Instructions

  1. Combine Creamy Bases: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Flavor Ingredients: Gently stir in the crumbled blue cheese, white wine vinegar, finely chopped chives, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, ensuring an even distribution of flavors without breaking down the blue cheese too much.
  3. Season to Taste: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference. If desired, mix in Worcestershire sauce or horseradish to add an extra depth of flavor.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dressing for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully.
  5. Adjust Consistency and Serve: Before serving, stir the dressing well. If it is too thick, thin it out by adding a small amount of milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Notes

  • Use high-quality blue cheese varieties like Roquefort, Stilton, or Gorgonzola for the best flavor.
  • Buttermilk can be used instead of whole milk for a tangier taste.
  • Refrigeration is essential to developing the dressing’s full flavor profile.
  • If the dressing thickens too much after refrigeration, gradually add milk to loosen it.
  • Optional Worcestershire sauce or horseradish gives an extra savoriness that pairs wonderfully with steak.
