Buffalo's Best Blue Cheese Dip
If you're a Blue Cheese lover, then this dip is what dreams are made of! Seriously, it is that good and that easy. Bring it out at a Christmas party or New Year's and your friends will leave you with a clean bowl and everyone will be asking for the recipe!
Make it early in the day to serve that evening.
Servings: 2 Cups
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise Don't use Salad dressing. The flavor is all wrong
- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
- 2 TBSP onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely minced or pressed
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley finely chopped or 1TBSP dried
- 1 TBSP Lemon Juice I keep one of those squeeze bottles of juice on hand for times when your only fresh lemon has seen better days, like mine.
- 1 TBSP white Vinegar Cider vinegar will also work fine
- 1/3 Cup Blue Cheese crumbled
- 1 pinch Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 sprinkle Parsley and Paprika on top to pretty it up. Red and green are THE seasons colors!
Instructions
- First, finely chop the Onion and Parsley, mince the Garlic and put them in a pretty bowl. Well....any bowl will do, but pretty kinda makes me happy when I'm cooking. Smile.
- Stir in the Lemon Juice and Vinegar and add those pinches of salt and pepper.
- Stir in the Mayonnaise.
- and the Sour Cream until well combined. ( No, that is not a bandage on my thumb, it's a splint....sigh)
- Fold in the crumbled Blue Cheese until combined. Then cover and refrigerate for several hours to bring all the flavors together.
- To serve, spoon the dip into another pretty bowl set on a pretty platter from that big box Swedish store that you bought for 2 bucks ( wink). Surround it with your choice of fresh, crisp and crunchy raw vegetables. Try not to eat any until it's time for the party!
