Ingredients
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 7 ounces Greek-style yogurt, such as Fage Total
- 1/2 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann’s
- 4 ounces sharp (mountain) Gorgonzola, crumbled
- 5 dashes Tabasco sauce, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- Crudites and/or crackers, for serving
Instructions
- Place the shallot, garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, mayonnaise, Gorgonzola, Tabasco, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the processor about 12 times, until the mixture is almost smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the chives and pulse two or three times, until combined. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Serve with vegetables and/or crackers for dipping.

Fabulous, except we can’t stop eating it!
I love this dip! I don’t even use the food processor and just mix it up and it’s nice and chunky….well, the truth is, my food processor broke we I tried to it on the lid so I didn’t have much choice BUT it was still great! You can actually break the cheese up FIRST using a pastry cutter if you don’t have a food processor and then mix it. I suppose you could use a paddle attachment on a mixer too.
Imagine this on Baked potatoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best dip! I used scallions in place of shallots and chives because that’s what I had but it is still delicious!!
Made this for Thanksgiving to have as a lighter appetizer with vegetables. Huge hit with my guests. Delicious and I will make again. I salted to taste rather than using the full amount.
Great recipe. I used white onion in place of shallots because I didn’t have shallots. Added chopped pecans. Delicious!
This dip is DEEE-licious! I omitted the chives and the salt. I like salt, but this recipe has plenty of saltiness due to the gorgonzola/blue cheese. I suggest adding the salt at the end, if you feel it is needed. This dip recipe has been requested MANY times when I have provided vegetables and dip to guests or at pot lucks. A real keeper!
This recipe makes me wish I was a crudite. Perfect as is, though I omitted chives until serving.
