Bleu Cheese Ranch Dressing Or Dip

makes about 1 cup, prep 10 min, chill before serving
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup sour cream (or 1/4 cup buttermilk for thinner dressing)
* 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (can use dried)
* 2-3 tbsp parsley, minced (can use 1 tsp dried)
* 1 green onion, green and white parts, minced
* 1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar (use lesser amount if using buttermilk)
* 2 tbsp blue cheese, more if desired-this is very lightly flavored
* salt and pepper
1. Combine all ingredients, except blue cheese. Stir well.
2. Spoon a small amount of mayo mixture onto a plate and use a fork to mash
blue cheese until well combined with dressing. Or if using blue cheese crumbles
just stir them in.
3. Stir cheese mixture into remaining dressing.
4. Salt and pepper to taste, chill.
5. Thin with a small amount of milk, buttermilk or water before serving if too
thick.
Make your dipping sauce first so it has time to chill and the flavors can
develop. We are still sort of weenie-ish when it comes to blue cheese so this
is very lightly flavored, as in it is basically ranch dressing. Add
in additional blue cheese until it is a pungent as you like it. This dressing
is really delicious by the way on a fresh, green salad.
