Chef John’s Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 ounces frozen blue cheese, grated

Directions

Place mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk in a bowl. Add garlic, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, sugar, cayenne, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together thoroughly.

Mix grated blue cheese into the cream base a little at a time to ensure it is evenly incorporated and doesn't clump.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to consolidate the flavors.
