Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Creamy Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Blue Cheese

Instructions
 

Step 1: Mix the Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined. This forms the tangy, flavorful base of our dressing.

Step 2: Add the Creaminess

  • Next, add in the mayonnaise. Whisk again until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The mayo is key to achieving that rich texture that makes the dressing so irresistible.

Step 3: Introduce Freshness

  • Now, stir in the chopped parsley and coarsely ground black pepper. These ingredients elevate the dressing by adding layers of flavor and a little bit of spice.

Step 4: Fold in the Blue Cheese

  • Finally, gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese. Be careful not to break up the crumbles too much; we want noticeable bits of blue cheese in every bite.

Step 5: Chill

  • Cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

Buttermilk adds tang and creaminess. Don’t skimp on it; it’s a game-changer.
Garlic Powder provides subtle depth. A little goes a long way.
Dijon Mustard introduces a gentle kick. It’s milder than yellow mustard but adds complexity.
Lemon Juice brings a fresh zing. Freshly squeezed is always best.
Mayonnaise binds the dressing together, giving it rich, creamy consistency.
Chopped Parsley adds a hint of herbiness that freshens up the dressing.
Coarsely Ground Black Pepper offers a slight bite. Freshly ground is best for maximum flavor.
Crumbled Blue Cheese is the star. Make sure to use a high-quality blue cheese for the best results.
