ROQUEFORT DRESSING
This is my version of the wonderful Roquefort dressing that was served at the Magic Lamp Inn in Cucamonga CA when I worked there as a prep-cook 40-45 years ago. As memory serves, it tastes pretty much like the original and is great on salads and as a dip for French fries, chips, chicken wings, or just about anything else you might want to dip in a blue cheese dressing. You have to start this a day ahead to drain the yogurt.

Steps:
- The night before you want to make the dressing, line a colander with a wet paper towel, stir the yogurt well, and place in the colander to drain.
- Cover with another damp paper towel, and allow to drain overnight.
- If you are a wuss, place the colander in a bowl, and let it drain in the fridge; if not, just leave it in the sink overnight.
- Yogurt just gets better when in sets at room temperature; it’s a living organism; it doesn’t like the cold any more than you do!
- The yogurt should have drained down to about 2 cups, more or less.
- If you are a purist, finely chop the scallions, parsley, white onion, and press the garlic; if not, coarsely chop them, throw them in the food processor, pulse until everything is finely chopped, scraping bowl down once, and transfer to a bowl.
- At the Magic Lamp, everything but the mayo and seasonings, went through the meat grinder, which still left a little texture.
- Combine the yogurt, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and blue cheese in a food processor, or whisk until well combined.
- Crumble the Roquefort or additional blue cheese, add to the processor, and pulse a couple more times, or finely crumble, and whisk into the mixture.
- Add seasonings, and pulse or whisk until incorporated.
- Allow to set for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop, taste, and adjust any or all seasonings to taste.
- If possible, refrigerate overnight before using.
- Note: If the dressing seems to need ‘something’ after setting, I often stir in a couple splashes of balsamic vinegar.
- This is definitely not part of the original recipe.
- Who had ever even heard of balsamic vinegar in the ‘60s?

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of Roquefort cheese, but this dressing was surprisingly good. The flavors are well-balanced and it's not too overpowering.

[email protected]This dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of honey next time to balance out the flavors.
