This Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing and Dip recipe is easy to make with real food ingredients. It ditches the bad stuff typically found in store-brought dressings like MSG, artificial flavors, and cornstarch. It has 0 grams of net carbs per serving. Plus, it tastes better than any thing you can find online and pre-made at the store. Perfect for dipping keto chicken wings into or drizzling on a wedge salad.

What is Blue Cheese Dressing?

Blue cheese dressing is a flavorful addition to salads, an excellent dip for wings, and a good addition to many meals. I love it because it’s tangy, thick, and filled with bold flavor. 

Why make this at home

Like other salad dressings, blue cheese 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.

One of the main reasons I decided to make my own blue cheese dressing (and share this post filled with keto salad dressing recipes) is I started to look at the ingredient labels on the backs of dressing bottles.

I was shocked by what I found!

The nutrition label for Hidden Valley Blue Cheese Dressing Mix

In some ways, the ingredients made sense. I mean, there’s a lot of additives and preservatives so the bottle can sit on the shelf both at the store and in our home for months.

But, in other ways, I thought the ingredients were unnecessary. For example, why does salad dressing have to include things like MSG, cornstarch, and artificial flavors?

Considering that most salad dressings take just a few minutes and taste better than anything you can buy at the store, I decided to add this dressing to my recipe box.

Ingredients in Blue Cheese Dressing

When you make this at home, you only need 10 real ingredients. I bet at least 9 of them you have on hand without having to go to the store.

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

  • Mayo
  • Sour cream
  • Blue Cheese crumbles
  • Sea Salt
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • dry mustard
  • Ground Parsley
  • black pepper
  • lemon juice

The only thing you may need to pick up is blue cheese crumbles.

How to make Blue Cheese Dressing

This recipe takes about 5 minutes to make. You really just need to measure out the ingredients, dump them into a medium bowl, and mix them well. 

Pro tips: 

  • Mix the dressing in a bowl with a lid if you want to make it ahead or store the remainder when you are done using it
  • Let the dressing marinate for a few minutes before serving if you have the time, it helps the flavors really come out

How many carbs & calories are in blue cheese dressing

As you might imagine based on the ingredients, this recipe contains good fat and a modest amount of calories per serving.

For a single serving (2 tbsp), there are:

  • 163 calories
  • 16g fat
  • 1g protein
