Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
Yield 1 cup
Ingredients:
4 ounces blue cheese, like Roquefort, crumbled
2-3 tablespoons of buttermilk
1 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 dash Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Preparation:
Put half the cheese into a medium-size bowl, and mash with a fork.
Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, olive oil, hot sauce, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce, then mash and whisk the dressing until it is mostly smooth, but still with some chunks of blue cheese remaining.
Adjust the flavors. You may wish to add a little more hot sauce, lemon juice or Worcestershire, to taste; whisk again, and set aside.
*(Alternatively, if you have a mini-food-processor, throw all the ingredients in #2 above into the processor and process until you have a chunky dressing. Voila!)
*Note: dressing will keep refrigerated in a sealed glass container for 3-4 days.
