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.

- Dip or condiment: Pair it up with crispy veggies, crackers, and pretzels. Or kick it up a notch with some protein like healthy chicken nuggets, crispy coconut chicken, juicy steak, ground chicken burgers, or delicious turkey sliders.
How to Store
Store: Refrigerate in a tightly sealed glass jar for 7-10 days.
Freeze: I do not freeze yogurt dressings because it alters the texture and may cause separation upon thawing.
FAQs
