Excellent! Used feta as we are not blue cheese lovers but otherwise as directed. This is a dish I will make often.
These are the best lettuce wedges they remind me of the stake houses that I like to visit
Anybody know how long this will keep in the refer if I bottle it in old, never to be bought again, Marzetti jars?
After making this dressing, I am never buying bottled blue cheese dressing again. Absolutely delicious!
Absolutely delicious. I made some small alterations: I didn’t have sour cream so I used natural yogurt and mayonnaise. I also added zest of lemon and dash Worcestershire sauce.
Will make again! Thanks so much from an Aussie fan x
My family loved this salad! The dressing is a bit thin, but it needs to be to get into the spaces between the lettuce leaves. Loved it and will make again.
We made this tonight and everyone loved it!!! My mother even went back for seconds and my 6th grader is planning on taking the extra to school tomorrow. I did cut the recipe in half and it worked great. Half would be great for 4-6 side wedge salads. We did add diced Granny smith apples to our wedge options and that tasted amazing it’s the dressing. I used the lemon juice of a small lemon and it was great, not too thin as some have mentioned.
I enjoyed this recipe. I love blue cheese, but it has a strong bite/taste, if that makes sense. This dressing was smooth and the blue cheese was pleasing and complemented the salad. If you like blue cheese, I would recommend trying this recipe. I agree with the comment below about adjusting the amount of lemon juice; I used 4 table spoons. On her show, she suggested using 4 table spoons in the recipe.
I can eat it 1 day!
I loved the blue cheese dressing. It makes a ton but the addition of onion powder and garlic powder takes it over the top. It is so smooth and creamy with chunks of blue cheese crumbles. I like romaine lettuce instead of iceberg in this place.
