Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing is everything you expect from a really good, homemade blue cheese dressing. Blue cheese is blended with buttermilk, mayonnaise and flavors, then extra blue cheese crumbles are mixed in for that chunkiness we love.

How to make homemade Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing – Step by Step

I used to hand mash the blue cheese into the buttermilk, but I got smart and took help from the food processor, a blender will work too. All the ingredients go in (reserving some of the blue cheese) and whiz it until smooth, Pour into a bowl and chunk it up with the blue cheese crumbles. Store in a well sealed container.

How long can I keep homemade blue cheese dressing refrigerated?

This dressing has vinegar which is a preserving agent so it can be kept longer than homemade blue cheese dressing that doesn’t. 7 to 8 days would be the maximum amount of time in a well sealed jar.

What goes well with chunky blue cheese dressing?

This chunky blue cheese dressing is not limited to being a salad dressing. Use it as a dip. I like to use it to dip celery, cherry tomatoes, just about any vegetable.  Buffalo sauce and blue cheese go so well together and I like to dip these buffalo rosemary chicken skewers in the dressing to cool off the sauce.
