Why Make this at home

Blue Cheese Dressing is easy to find at your local grocery store or online. So, you might be wondering why you should spend the time making this at home.

Here are my top reasons:

Poor Ingredients in Store-Bought Versions: I started making homemade salad dressing recipes because bottled dressing has a lot of additives and preservations (so it can sit on a shelf for months) as well as things like MSG, cornstarch, and artificial flavors.
Fresh chunks of blue cheese: bottled dressing just does not compare to your own dressing. If you’re a fan of blue cheese, making homemade salad dressing allows you to add more or less.
Easy recipe: this creamy dressing takes just a few minutes to make with fresh ingredients.

Ingredients Needed

Bottled dressing can have long lists of ingredients. This simple recipe doesn’t and the best part is that you probably have most on hand.

Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

Mayonnaise: I’m using full-fat mayonnaise. Any brand that you prefer works, including avocado mayonnaise.
Sour Cream: I use full fat. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use greek yogurt.
Blue Cheese crumbles: I get my crumbled blue cheese from the refrigerated section in my local grocery store
Natural Ancient Sea Salt
Spices: this recipe includes several dry spices like onion powder, garlic powder, ground dry mustard, dried parsley, and black pepper
Lemon Juice: I use bottled lemon juice, but you can also use fresh lemon juice.

Top Tips & FAQs:

Let the dressing marinate for a few minutes before serving if you have the time, it helps the flavors really come out

Is Blue Cheese Dressing Keto?

This depends on how you follow keto. For example, some people focus just on the amount of carbs (which means that most blue cheese dressing is keto since it has just a few carbs).

But, others focus on carbs as well as using unprocessed ingredients. If you focus on ingredients, many store-bought dressings are not keto-friendly. This recipe is meant to provide an easy homemade option with real food and unprocessed ingredients.
