Calling all blue cheese fans! This creamy Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing is loaded with blue cheese yet with a fraction of the fat. Drizzle it over your favorite salad or serve as a dip with crisp fresh veggies. Recipe yields 1 cup and will serve 8 (2 tablespoon) servings.
Truth: I love blue cheese anything.
Whipped and spread on a crostini, baked into a scone, as a scone for spicy buffalo wings and celery and in a dressing drizzled over a salad. Truth be told, if blue cheese is in the title there’s a good chance I will consume it.
I’ve tried other store-bought yogurt blue cheese dressings before and they aren’t my favorite. So I set off to make my own. Naturally.
It all started with an idea for a salad that I wanted/needed a blue cheese dressing that was lower in fat but not lacking in flavor. So I grabbed my container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt and mixed it with a little mayo, blue cheese crumbles, low-fat buttermilk, vinegar, spices and a splash of (my not-so-secret ingredient) Worcestershire.
Voila! The best Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing was born. Not only is it extremely easy to prepare but also ridiculously delicious.
Needless to say, I will be keeping this salad dressing on hand all summer.
