Photo: Cherry Tomatoes with Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
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.

Someone said that it's all about the blue cheese you use and I'm posting to say that I agree. I used poor quality blue cheese that I didn't like, powdered buttermilk with a spoon of yogurt (because I didn't have buttermilk in the fridge and the dressing tasted just like my nasty blue cheese. No amount of other ingredients improved it. I'm going to try this again with real buttermilk and a really good blue cheese that I want to taste. I'm rating this recipe as 5 stars because it features the blue cheese well and it is not fair to judge it as lacking based on my poor ingredients. I iwll post again once I try this with the good stuff.

Oh my. This dressing is absolutely fantastic! I made twice with two different types of salads (one with broccoli and the other with greens and it was delicious! I do agree with some of you that it IS a little thin, but you can always thicken it up with some sour cream. I did not have any fresh chives, so I just tossed in some dried and it tasted wonderful. The lemon juice brightened it up a bit and added some depth of flavor. If I could hug this man, believe me, I would! Also, kudos to Tyler for having a creamy dressing that was NOT a mayo base!

This recipe was written well, but ultimately it didn't appeal to me. If you really like blue cheese, you'll love this recipe. Not a bad recipe, just not for me. Too blue cheesy!
