We have made this recipe in some shape or fashion several times. Honestly, the base recipe is a really good ranch dressing. It’s creamy and vibrant, and does not have all the MSG and other chemicals of the store bought ranch has; not to mention it is easy to make. We make up a batch and add the blue cheese separately at the end for those who like it, and store the leftover ranch to dip veggies or to eat with fries. It is equally good made with sour cream if you don’t have creme fraiche. We have also added fresh dill instead of chives, and that’s a great addition or substitution. This dressing (ranch or blue cheese) is also amazing with leftover steak on the salad. Delicious!!! You should definitely give this recipe a try!!!
