Ingredients

Dressing:

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh chives, minced
2 pints yellow cherry tomatoes, or red grape tomatoes, or both
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

To prepare the dressing, place the blue cheese, buttermilk, and olive oil in a medium bowl and stir together with a fork, mashing a little to break up the cheese. Season with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chives. Set aside.

Wash the tomatoes, and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice each tomato in half lengthwise and season with a pinch of salt. Add the tomatoes to the dressing mixture and toss to combine then garnish with freshly ground pepper, to taste.

Yumm!

Why in the world have I been buying salad dressing all these years. This is fantastic. Wow. As many have noted, it is a... bit thin, so we just added a bit of sour cream to thicken. Fantastic.Read more

Our New Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This has now become the standard salad in our house. It's easy to make, and we also use feta sometimes instead of blue... cheese.Read more

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this recipe. I actually served it over a bed of green leafy lettuce. It was beautiful. I didn't have buttermilk... though. I wasn't sure how it would taste with making my own buttermilk with skim and vinegar, but amazingly it was still great. You can't screw this one up. Try it.Read more

Simply Delightful
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've made blue cheese dressings lots of times and included buttermilk in some of them along with mayo and/or sour cream. But... I'd never thought to make a dressing using only buttermilk as the base. This was delightful in its simplicity and so delicious. The secret, of course, is really great quality blue cheese, and good clultured buttermilk and top notch fresh tomatoes and chives. What's not to love? A winner and "fast food" to boot!Read more
