Creamy Blue Cheese Dip (Printable View)

Rich, tangy blue cheese dip ready in minutes. Ideal for wings, veggies, and chips.

# What You Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
02 - 1/2 cup sour cream
03 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise

→ Fresh Produce

04 - 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

→ Condiments & Seasonings

06 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
07 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 - Salt, to taste

# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Fold together until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks of blue cheese intact for texture.
02 - Add the minced garlic, chopped chives, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Taste the dip and season with salt as needed. Keep in mind that blue cheese already contributes natural saltiness.
04 - Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
05 - Transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl and accompany with fresh vegetable sticks, potato chips, or buffalo chicken wings.
