Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Maytag blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 8 large Creole or beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 4 medium Vidalia onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 24 (3-inch by 1/4-inch rounds) toasted croutons
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Directions
In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and black pepper. Using the back of a fork, mash the mixture together to form a thick paste. Drizzle in the oil, stirring continuously with the fork until the mixture is creamy. Add the buttermilk and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Season both sides of the tomatoes with salt and pepper. To serve, place a tomato in the center of each plate. Drizzle some of the dressing over the tomato. Place some of the sliced onions over the dressing. Place a crouton on top of the dressing. Repeat the above process with the remaining ingredients. Use four slices of tomatoes and 3 croutons for each salad. Garnish with parsley and serve.

This dressing was one of the worst I have EVER tasted. Who has ever heard of an oil-based blue cheese dressing anyway? That should have been a clear sign this would be bad. Think olive oil with blue cheese in it, thats what it tastes like. The olive oil was so strong it overweighed the taste of blue cheese and the dressing was just disgusting. I will never make this again, what a waste of $13- it went down the trash. I make many other chefs dressings and they come out well, including Tyler Florences blue cheese dressing, next time I'll just stick with that. Shame on you emeril!!! This is as bad as a 4 year olds trying of a recipe....
