Creamy Blue Cheese Dip (Print View)
Creamy, tangy blue cheese dip ready in 10 minutes. Ideal for wings, veggies, and chips.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 4.2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
02 - 1/2 cup sour cream
03 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
→ Fresh Produce
04 - 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
→ Condiments & Seasonings
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
07 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 - Salt, to taste
# How To Make It:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Fold together until mostly smooth, leaving some small blue cheese chunks intact for texture.
02 - Add the minced garlic, chopped chives, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly to distribute all seasonings evenly throughout the dip.
03 - Taste the dip and season with salt as needed. Keep in mind that blue cheese naturally contributes salinity, so add salt cautiously.
04 - Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
05 - Transfer to a serving dish and serve chilled alongside fresh vegetable sticks, potato chips, or buffalo wings.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The texture walks a perfect line between creamy and chunky, giving you those little pockets of blue cheese that melt on your tongue.
- It genuinely takes ten minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have sitting in your fridge.
02 -
- Skip the resting period and the dip will taste flat, because cold flavors need time to marry and deepen in the fridge.
- Taste your blue cheese before you start. Some are fiercely salty and others are surprisingly mild, which changes how much salt you add at the end.
03 -
- Mash the blue cheese slightly with the back of a fork before mixing to release more flavor into the base.
- A tiny pinch of celery salt folded in at the end is the secret move that makes people ask what you did differently.
