YUMMM!!!!

This recipe is fantastic! I made it for my husbands birthday party and put it over steak pitas and it was a huge hit! Who... says dressing is only for salads! I even used a blender instead of a food processor! Tasted fantastic! Thanks Ina!!!!Read more

The best blue cheese dressing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed this blue cheese dressing, I made just the dressing for the salad I made for my family. Everyone loved it. ... It's creamy and not overpowering. Will be a keeper.Read more

Watch out for salt!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe - roquefort's pretty salty, so add salt a little at a time to taste. Will try other reviewer's recommendation... re: using milder blue cheese (just for a little variety.)Read more

yum!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe! However, it does make more than 4 servings. It's really more like 8. Next time I'll just half the... recipe because now I got way too much.Read more

Simply awsome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I agree with all of you that rated this with 5 stars. I have eaten in some of the best steak houses Los Angeles has to offer... and I am not exaggerating - this dressing beats them all. Easy to make (I tried Ina's version and the buttermilk version one of the reviewers suggested) without a doubt stick to Ina's version. Full of that rich Blue Cheese flavor that you expect from Blue Cheese dressing. After setting for awhile it thickens up beautifully. It's a keeper for sure. Thanks for sharing Ina.Read more
