Reviews
This was amazing. Definitely a keeper. I used gorgonzola instead of blue cheese and it turned out yummy!
Loved this!! The dressing was amazing. I like the fact you can make the dressing as thick or thin as you like. I often feel at restaurants the dressing is too thin so they can cut down food cost and there is never enough chunks of cheese. It was 104 in Phoenix yesterday so we made this our dinner. It was cool and refreshing. This is going into my recipe box!!
Delicious! We didn’t have all the ingredients but we had enough where it was so good! You could make this recipe with any herbs you like so it can be customized to your liking. Now I don’t have to get this from a restaurant as I will be making this at home! We used some corn chips in it while fixing our salads and that was good too. Thanks for the recipe.
This is so great! I used basil, chives, and flat-leaf parsley as the herbs. I chopped up my cooked bacon and also added some sliced English cucumber. The dressing with the gorgonzola was so flavorful, I didn’t even need to add any blue cheese to the salad itself. I did end up using quite a bit more buttermilk to get the consistency I wanted, but it was just excellent.
