Homemade Blue Cheese Dip

You know what, come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever bought a blue cheese dip from the shop before. Never had a reason to! A homemade blue cheese dip is waaaaaaay too easy and delicious to do that. And trust me, this recipe is about to be your new ‘go-to’ dip for just about everything.

First things first –

What is the difference between blue cheese dressing and blue cheese dip?

Whilst they are fairly interchangeable, there are small differences. A dressing is often slightly thinner in consistency, making it great for drizzling over salads. A lot of dressings also use buttermilk, where in contrast dips often use sour and/or mayo for a thicker consistency.

Blue Cheese Dip Ingredients

Blue Cheese – The heart and soul of the dip.
Mayo – Adds a tangy flavour which plays off the blue cheese nicely.
Sour Cream – Adds creaminess to balance out the sharp flavours.
Chives – Fresh chives are a game changer in this dip!
Lemon Juice – Adds freshness to the dip.

How to make Blue Cheese Dip

It really is as simple as combining in a bowl and taste testing to adjust measurements to preference. I actually highly recommend making this dip in advance. It gives a chance for the flavours to marry together. Just cover and pop in the fridge over night!

Chunky vs smooth blue cheese dip

Personally I prefer a chunky blue cheese dip, which means just simply crumbling in the cheese. If you’re after a smooth dip then smash the cheese with a fork in a little lemon juice to form a paste. Mix in the other ingredients from there.

What type of blue cheese to use?

I’ll always go for a nice strong Stilton. For a milder blue cheese taste then use something creamier like a Gorgonzola.

Can I use Greek Yogurt in blue cheese dip?

You can, and a lot of recipes do, but honestly if I’m having blue cheese dip I’m eating it with something equally as ‘unhealthy’. Stick with the full fat mayo and treat yourself 😂

What serve with Blue Cheese Dip?

I also like to drizzle this in my Buffalo Chicken Wraps as well!

And there we have it! A gorgeously creamy, tangy and luxurious blue dip if yours for the taking!

b) Resting Time - Allowing the dip to sit in the fridge for at least a couple of hours before serving, will give time for the flavours to blend and develop. So do try and make it in advance!
