Tips for Best Results

Here are my top tips for the best blue cheese dressing with yogurt!

Use any fat Greek yogurt: I usually recommend full fat yogurt for creaminess, but with the rich blue cheese, use any percentage you like for a flavorful dressing.
Thin it out: Feel free to gradually pour in a bit of water until it’s easy to drizzle, if you want but not necessary.
Using regular yogurt: Greek yogurt is best for dip, with regular yogurt it will be thinner which is fine for salads.
Make it dairy-free: Substitute your favorite plain dairy-free Greek yogurt, any fat percentage.
Other additions: Add white vinegar or fresh lemon juice for tang, add richness with 1-2 tablespoons of mayo or sour cream, or enhance the flavor with fresh chives, dill, or thyme.

Dip or condiment: Pair it up with crispy veggies, crackers, and pretzels. Or kick it up a notch with some protein like healthy chicken nuggets, crispy coconut chicken, juicy steak, ground chicken burgers, or delicious turkey sliders.

How to Store

Store: Refrigerate in a tightly sealed glass jar for 7-10 days.

Freeze: I do not freeze yogurt dressings because it alters the texture and may cause separation upon thawing.

FAQs

What else can I use instead of yogurt?

If you’re not in the mood for all yogurt, you can swap in some mayonnaise or sour cream. It’ll bring in a touch of richness and a bit more fat. Buttermilk will work great too!

I am not a fan of blue cheese, what can I use instead?

You can swap blue cheese for crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes! This blue cheese salad dressing can be made up to 10 days ahead of time. Store in a glass mason jar with a tight fitting lid, give a stir, and serve when ready.

Can I use gorgonzola cheese?

I haven’t tried using gorgonzola cheese, but it offers a similar blue cheese taste so it should work.
