Notes
Choose quality blue cheese: Choose a high-quality blue cheese with big flavor. The quality of the cheese will make a big difference to the end result.
Crumbles vs creamy: Decide whether you prefer your blue cheese dressing to be chunky with visible crumbles of cheese or smoother and creamier. Adjust the amount of mashing or blending accordingly.
Balancing flavors: Test and balance the dressing if you need to. Add more lemon juice (or white vinegar) for acidity, more mayonnaise or sour cream for creaminess, and more blue cheese for a stronger flavor.
Consistency: Pay attention to the consistency of the dressing. If it is too thick, you can thin it out with some milk.
Chill before serving it: For the best flavor, chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This lets the flavors meld together.
