I do love me some mold - er, on my cheese that is. As long as it's not in my husbands dirty socks - or found behind my child's bed, I'm good.
Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola, the list goes on - I could be happy with any of these. I ran across this container of Gorgonzola cheese at the store the other day, and I knew I had to grab it. I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but I finally decided on whipping it up into a creamy salad dressing.
Fresh, crunchy greens can only get better under a creamy layer of Gorgonzola deliciousness, right? I experimented on amounts, adding a little of this and a little of that, and finally ended up with this dressing. It's pretty tasty if I do say so myself.
Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing
Yield: 1 cup Printable Recipe
1/4 cup mashed Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt, to taste
fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
In a small bowl mash the gorgonzola cheese with the back of a spoon. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined. Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Now pop it in the fridge overnight for the flavors to marry together. Serve over your favorite salad or have a veggie dipping palooza. Enjoy!

Yum! It is warming up here and I'm starting to really crave salads. I can't wait to try this dressing - looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Allison, I'm with you...I can't wait for the warmer weather either! :)
DeleteI love that bottle! And the dressing, too, of course!
ReplyDeleteThanks Averie! I think I picked it up at Home Goods. Love that place. :)
DeleteBlue cheese is growing on my but I haven't always been a fan. This dressing does sound amazing, though!
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of dressing!
ReplyDeleteI adore moldy cheeses, too! And that bottle is just positively adorable! Must hit up Home Goods.
ReplyDeletesounds lovely! I wonder if swapping out the mayo for plain non-fat yogurt would work...
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth! Yes, I'm sure substituting yogurt would be just fine. You can even just use all low-fat sour cream instead of the half sour cream half mayonnaise.
ReplyDeleteFresh salad dressing is the best! And that jar is so cute, so much better than storing in a boring mason jar :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the lookout for dressing recipes! Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at gorgonzola! Like whoa.
ReplyDeleteThe best of the best. Thanks. Tried a lot of recipes and this one tops it all....plus the salad.
