Blue Cheese Dressing

I love blue cheese salad dressing.  Do you?? I think my mother figured it out several years ago...she likes salads but likes the dressing more.  She says the salad is just a nice way to get the dressing in your mouth.

I'm going to share with you a dressing recipe that I got from Ina (The Barefoot Contessa).

I've made it several times and I'm very pleased with the recipe.

Blue Cheese Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise (I use regular)

1/2 cup blue cheese

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 T tarragon vinegar

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic (finely chopped-this was my idea)

I had used pre-crumbled blue cheese the first couple of times I made this dressing.  I decided to try a wedge of cheese this time.  The wedge I used was 5.5 ounces.  I put it in a separate bowl and broke it apart with a fork.

I didn't make the pieces too small.  I like my dressing on the chunky side.

Then I added the heavy whipping cream.

I gave it a little stir. 

 Then I added the vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic clove. I added only

1/2 teaspoon of salt with this dressing as it was salty enough without adding the rest.

I made a nice big salad for my lunch and added my favorite crackers.

A delicious salad with a great home-made dressing! 

How inviting!  How delicious!
