It's been along time since we've had any decent Blue Cheese Salad Dressing. All of the local stuff is full of artificial ingredients and tastes awful. So, yesterday we were at PriceSmart (Costa Rica's equivalent of Costco) and found a half kilo wedge of Danish Blue Cheese for ¢5,200, slighly less than $10 USD.
Today I created the best Chunky Blue Cheese Salad Dressing/Dip I've ever tasted. Here is my recipe.
Ingredients:
¼ cup of sweet cream (crema dulce)
¼ cup of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (not lime)
4 ounces of Blue Cheese
Directions:
Combine everything except the blue cheese in a small mixing bowl and mix until well blended. Cut the blue cheese into chunky crumbles and fold it into the other ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
I served some to John as a dip for crackers this afternoon and was just barely able to capture the photo above before it was gone!
