Tips for Best Results

Here are my top tips for the best blue cheese dressing with yogurt!

  • Use any fat Greek yogurt: I usually recommend full fat yogurt for creaminess, but with the rich blue cheese, use any percentage you like for a flavorful dressing.
  • Thin it out: Feel free to gradually pour in a bit of water until it’s easy to drizzle, if you want but not necessary.
  • Using regular yogurt: Greek yogurt is best for dip, with regular yogurt it will be thinner which is fine for salads.
  • Make it dairy-free: Substitute your favorite plain dairy-free Greek yogurt, any fat percentage.
  • Other additions: Add white vinegar or fresh lemon juice for tang, add richness with 1-2 tablespoons of mayo or sour cream, or enhance the flavor with fresh chives, dill, or thyme.

What to Serve Blue Cheese Dressing with?

So versatile and fun, this homemade yogurt blue cheese dressing is a fridge essential for us. Here are some creative ways to enjoy it:

How to Store

FAQs

What else can I use instead of yogurt?

If you’re not in the mood for all yogurt, you can swap in some mayonnaise or sour cream. It’ll bring in a touch of richness and a bit more fat. Buttermilk will work great too!

I am not a fan of blue cheese, what can I use instead?

You can swap blue cheese for crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes! This blue cheese salad dressing can be made up to 10 days ahead of time. Store in a glass mason jar with a tight fitting lid, give a stir, and serve when ready.

Can I use gorgonzola cheese?

I haven’t tried using gorgonzola cheese, but it offers a similar blue cheese taste so it should work.
