CREAMY BLUE CHEESE SALAD DRESSING
About 25 years ago, after experimenting with recipes for a blue cheese dressing, I came up with this quick-to-make combination. I usually mix up a double batch because it never lasts long. It's also great as a dip for crackers, veggies or crusty breads, or instead of mayonnaise on sandwiches.

"I have been making this for about 40 years and I always get raves," writes Joan Smith of Claremore, Oklahoma. And she should, because this dressing is thick and creamy, yet surprisingly light. She adds, "I also serve it with fried chicken wings and crisp celery."

PEAR & WALNUT SALAD W/CREAMY BLEU (BLUE) CHEESE DRESSING
This salad is a little different from most pear and walnut salads as it has a creamy bleu cheese dressing, not a vinaigrette. The creaminess of the dressing, the sweetness of the pears, the crunch from the glazed walnuts and a little zip from the dried cranberries make this a very unique and tasty salad. I started making it this way a few years ago, and everyone loved it, so it is a staple in our house now. The combination of the flavors is awesome. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

THE ULTIMATE CREAMY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING & DIP
I have discovered Blue Cheese Dressing & Dip nirvana! I have yet to find a ready made that I like. I came up with this when serving Buffalo Chicken Wings last week. Why start from scratch when you can cheat?! :D Super simple and full of garlicy goodness & blue cheese. Great as a salad dressing, raw veggie dip, Buffalo Chicken Wings, etc. I have listed the full 12 ounce jar of Marie's Caesar dressing and 5 oz container of blue cheese. Use as much or as little of each ingredients as you like. The bottom line is, estimate how much you will need & make it to your liking. Thin it with mayo & milk if you are looking for a thinner dressing. Make it thicker ( dressing & blue cheese only) for dipping. Serving size is arbitrary based on the ingredients amounts you decide to use.

Steps:
- Decide how much Caesar dressing you will need.
- Add enough blue cheese crumbles to suit your taste. I like LOTS!
- If your dressing is too thick, add milk to thin or mayonnaise to stretch the amount of dressing. Mix, check for seasoning & adding more blue cheese or creamy caesar.
- Add pepper to taste.
- Combine all ingredients, but don't smooth out the chunks of blue cheese. That would be criminal!
- Serve and enjoy!
ICEBERG WEDGES WITH CREAMY BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
This is a simple and fantastic retro-diner salad that is based on a recipe from the January 2003 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Another rare recipe that my picky DH actually likes! I often serve this to compliment one of his BBQ's, and sometimes add tomato wedges, especially if I have some that are garden fresh.

- Serve the dressing with a variety of foods: Creamy blue cheese dressing is great on salads, vegetables, chicken, fish, and beef. It can also be used as a dip for chips or crackers.

Creamy blue cheese dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new dressing to try, give creamy blue cheese dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
