Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (or to taste)
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream ( full, low fat or fat free)

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mash with a fork. Or for a smoother whipped consistency, place the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning. Adjust consistency by adding more sour cream for a thinner milder dip or more blue cheese for a thicker stronger dip.

Recipe Notes

BLUE CHEESE SAUCE TIPS

  • For an extra smooth texture, blend the blue cheese dip in your food processor. I simply mash all the ingredients with a fork.
  • This easy dip keeps for at least 2 weeks in the fridge and if you’re a blue cheese person too, you might want to double, triple or quadruple this recipe and have a secret stash in the fridge.
  • If you dilute the dip with a little bit of vinegar, you got yourself an awesome blue cheese salad dressing!
  • If you prefer a milder taste to your blue cheese, add extra sour cream to the recipe ( 1 tablespoon at a time and taste.)
  • Likewise, you can add extra cheese to the recipe for a stronger pungent taste.
  • Thin out the recipe into a sauce by adding cream or half n half a tablespoon at a time. 
  • If you thin it out with extra sour cream, you can use it as a sandwich spread.
  • Serve it along veggies, chicken, meat, bread and enjoy!
