Blue cheese can boost flavors or bully them. How do you make this ingredient your friend? Here’s what we discovered:
Test Kitchen Discoveries
Because a dressing seemed like a poor use of pricey artisanal cheese, we relied on supermarket blue cheese. Tasters settled on Stilton for its sweet nuttiness.
To make the dressing thicker and creamier, we reduced the amount of sour cream and omitted a traditional liquid ingredient: buttermilk. Buzzing everything in the food processor made for quick, easy incorporation.
For a final touch of seasoning, a few grinds of pepper, a smidgen of garlic powder (which adds garlic punch without the harshness of fresh), and a splash of cider vinegar were just enough to complement, but not overwhelm, the assertive blue cheese.
