My husband got me hooked on blue cheese. He is a die-hard blue cheese guy. I had nothing against blue cheese before, but I never missed it if it wasn’t there.
Now I would miss it if it wasn’t with my spicy wings or chicken fingers, or with my steak or salad.
Why this Garlic Blue Cheese Dip recipe works:
I love making my dips as simple, fresh and light tasting as can be.
So for that light, fresh taste I use sour cream instead of mayo and I still get a smooth creamy texture. I also love adding fresh herbs like fresh thyme and parsley.
Then I add garlic for that deep flavor to compliment the blue cheese and hot sauce to spice it up.
How to make this Garlic Blue Cheese Dip recipe:
For convenience, I mash up all the ingredients and whisk them in a bowl with a fork by hand. Of course, you can totally whip this up in a food processor for a smooth velvety whipped blue cheese dip texture—which is my husbands’ favorite.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning. Adjust consistency by adding more sour cream for a thinner milder dip or more blue cheese for a thicker stronger dip.
Tips for success:
- 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 thin it out with extra sour cream, you can use it as a sandwich spread. Serve it along veggies, chicken, meat, bread and enjoy!
