We eat a lot of beef at our house. My hubby and son are “meat and potatoes guys” and, for that matter, all three of our daughters and I also love beef. We think there is something special about beef combined with blue cheese — they just fit. This dressing is a change of pace from a traditional mayo-based blue cheese dressing. I love this olive oil and vinegar-based dressing because it isn’t quite so heavy. It is also terrific on a Cobb or Steak salad. I think I might have to have a salad for lunch….
Blue Cheese Vinaigrette Dressing
Author: Sunflower Supper Club
Ingredients
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic (1/2 teaspoon)
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles, divided
- ½ cup Olive Oil
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the ingredients, except the olive oil and use only ¼ cup of the Blue Cheese crumbles.
- Process until well mixed.
- With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream.
- Continue processing until blended.
- Pour dressing into a jar and stir in the remaining ¼ cup blue cheese.
- It is best if you can make it a few hours ahead to let the flavors blend.
Enjoy!

I just about always make homemade dressings. If you like Blue Cheese give it a try, I promise you will never go back to bottled. 🙂
I love homemade dressings also but not sure about the blue cheese… may have to try it anyways :)). Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday and remember to come back and vote on Sunday!
If you give it a try I would start with a mild blue cheese, like Danish. My daughter really likes it when I use Gorgonzola and she is not a huge blue cheese fan. If you like Feta cheese, this dressing is also yummy make with that. Let me know if you try it! Have a great week!
