Name: Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 cup plain greek yogurt ((8 ounces - I used 0% fat)); 1 cup blue cheese crumbles ((4 ounces)); 1 clove garlic, minced; 3 tablespoons lemon juice; 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/8 teaspoon salt

True or false – blue cheese is greater than ranch? TRUE! I am a blue cheese lover through and through and this greek yogurt blue cheese dressing is it!

It’s thick and creamy, has a nice tang from the yogurt, and goes with so many things – veggies, salads, grilled meats, and just by the spoonful if you love it as much as me.

I’m a huge fan of homemade dressings and sauces. They are such an easy way to add some spice to meals and by making them at home, you know exactly what goes into them. This homemade blue cheese dressing is not different – it gives you that same taste (honestly better in my opinion) you know and love with great ingredients.

How to serve

This homemade blue cheese dressing is so versatile! We love keeping a jar in the fridge during the week and adding it to different meals. Here are some ways you can use it:

salad dressing
dip – great served with veggies, crackers, or pretzels
with anything buffalo chicken – perfect for buffalo chicken fries, buffalo wings, buffalo chicken zucchini boats, or buffalo chicken burgers
sauce for a grain or power bowl
as a spread on a sandwich
sauce with an easy dinner – we love serving this with some protein (chicken and steak), some veggies, and carbs to spice up weeknight dinners

Storage

refrigerator – store in a tightly sealed glass jar (I love to use the ones I mix it in) in the fridge. It will last as long as your yogurt lasts (look at the expiration date on it).

Substitutions

greek yogurt – greek yogurt is what helps lighten this recipe and gives it more protein than your average blue cheese dressing. With that being said, it also adds more tang. If you don’t want all greek yogurt, you can substitute some mayonnaise or sour cream. This will add a little richness and more fat. If you can’t have dairy, you can try a dairy-free greek yogurt. Any kind of fat percentage will work.
blue cheese crumbles – if you don’t have blue cheese or want to change it up, you can try gorgonzola.
white vinegar – any kind of clear/light-colored vinegar will work. Apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, or malt vinegar. Do not use balsamic vinegar. You can also leave it out if you don’t have it.
garlic – use you can garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. Use 1/2 teaspoon.
