Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 cup of sour cream. Mix them together until they are well combined and smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Blue Cheese

    Fold in 1 cup of blue cheese crumbles into the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture. Be careful not to break the cheese too much; leave some larger pieces for texture.

Flavoring

  1. 3

    Incorporate Liquid Ingredients

    Pour in 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard into the bowl. Stir until everything is combined.

  2. 4

    Season the Dressing

    Add 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the mixture. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.

Final Steps

  1. 5

    Adjust Consistency

    If the dressing is too thick for your liking, you can add more buttermilk, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

  2. 6

    Chill Before Serving

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
