Once you try this homemade blue cheese dip, you will have a tough time going back to bottled blue cheese dressing. The flavor of this dressing comes from a generous amount of deliciously pungent blue cheese, and it’s perfectly balanced with a creamy base and a hint of lemon juice. Homemade Ranch Dressing is another one that you just have to try! When you have the hang of that one, try making your own Raspberry Vinaigrette too.
