Ingredients for the Best Blue Cheese Dressing With Yogurt

Here’s what you’ll need to make this magic happen

• 4–6 oz blue cheese, crumbled (reserve some for extra chunks)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat is best)
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Frank’s Red Hot

• Salt to taste

How to Make Blue Cheese Yogurt Dressing

Step 1: Mash the Base

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and about 2/3 of your crumbled blue cheese. Use a fork to mash the cheese into the base until creamy with a little texture left.

Step 2: Add Flavor

Stir in the vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, sugar, garlic powder, pepper, and parsley. Mix well to combine.

Step 3: Add More Cheese

Fold in the remaining blue cheese crumbles for that irresistible chunky bite.

Step 4: Adjust and Chill

If it’s too thick, stir in milk a tablespoon at a time. Taste, then salt as needed. Chill for at least 3 hours (overnight is best!) to let the flavors blend.

Up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
