Ingredients
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 3/4 cups blue cheese (crumbled)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. Paste the garlic

    Mince the garlic and add the salt. Paste the garlic by chopping in the salt and then pressing down on it with the side of the knife. Repeat this until the garlic is liquidy and paste-like.

    Pasting is a great method to when using the garlic raw. 

  2. Mix the dressing

    Add the garlic and vinegar to a mini food processor. I like to let the garlic sit in the vinegar for a few minutes to mellow the flavor. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse to combine. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

    If you don’t have a mini food processor, you can use a whisk. Try to mash down on the blue cheese to spread it throughout the dressing.
  3. Refrigerate the dressing

    Allow the dressing to chill for a few hours (overnight is even better) to let the flavors marry. You can stir in extra blue cheese if you like some bigger chunks.
