Tips:
- Use high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. A sharp, pungent blue cheese will give the dressing a more robust taste.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make a thicker dressing, add more blue cheese or mayonnaise. For a thinner dressing, add more buttermilk or milk.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use fresh.
- This dressing is best when made fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
