This delicious Blue Cheese Dip is perfect with raw vegetables or alongside Buffalo chicken wings. You could even put a dollop on your burger!
Blue cheese – one of my most favorite cheeses. Whether it’s Danish blue, Maytag, Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or the very lovely English Stilton, I love them all.
The best burger of all time in my book is one with a bit of blue cheese melted on top right before it comes off the grill. Or a lovely bit of beef steak, grilled perfectly with a dollop to finish it off. I also have a great recipe for a little appetizer using a bit of blue cheese placed on a piece of Belgian endive with a candied pecan on top. Delicious!
The recipe I’m sharing today is my standard Blue Cheese Dip that we always have with Buffalo wings. This dip, along with a celery stick, cuts right through the heat of the wing sauce and gives that pleasant pungent taste you expect from a great blue cheese dip.
This is also a very simple thing to mix up and serve with some fresh veggie dippers when you have guests coming by.

Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 ounces blue cheese crumbled
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 ounces blue cheese, salt, pepper

Notes
- Buy crumbled blue cheese, or crumble a wedge yourself.
- Gorgonzola and Danish blue make a milder dip, while Roquefort and Stilton are sharper and more pungent.
- Low-fat mayonnaise and sour cream both work well if you prefer them.
- Stir gently for larger crumbles and pockets of flavor, or press the cheese against the side of the bowl to distribute it evenly.
- If the dip is thicker than you want, thin it with milk a teaspoon at a time.
- To use as a salad dressing, thin the dip with up to ¼ cup of milk or buttermilk.
- Serve cold with celery sticks, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper strips, sturdy chips, hot wings, or chicken strips.

Years ago I had a fresh crab cocktail w/blue cheese dressing & it was awesome ! Sure doesn’t sound like it would be BUT IT WAS YUMMY & I have fixed it myself several times ! Try it –you might like it !!
That sounds really delciious! I like blue cheese almost any kind of way :-)
Yummy – thank you.
bleu cheese dip looks great!! I’m also craving some hot wings!
All of the sudden I’ve got a craving for hot wings. I usually have a load of blue cheese dip when I have a bunch of them. But I can also eat it with some veggies, too. ;-) Love it!
I can’t imagine hot wings without bleu cheese dip and this is the one I always serve with them. I should have noted also that I use low-fat mayo and sour cream in this with really good results.
I completely agree – a burger is not a burger without a little Gorgonzola. This dip looks delicious!
